Your lungs probably ache from the coughing. If the mucus is clear than it is not an infection. Take some Mucinex that will help with the cough and the mucus. If you develop a fever, yellow or green mucus, shortness of breath, or just general worsening of your condition that see a physician.

According to my doctor the color of the mucus isnt important anymore. You could have bronchitis, sinus infection, virus, or lots of other things. Your lungs probably ache from the coughing but there could also be an infection in the linings of the lungs. The best thing to do is to see your doctor who may recommend a chest xray and can prescribe any medication to get rid of infection. Smoking may have irritated this but most likely isnt the cause.

It is very normal to cough up clear mucus after you quit smoking . All of the nasty crap you were inhaling is coming out .

Sounds like your sinuses are draining in your lungs, do you have bad allergies?
