constant cough for over a year with mucus.

Hey all, i'm a 23M and i've experienced a constant tickling cough for about ... actually a little over a year now. Every time i cough i produce some type of mucus that is always clear or almost white and usually very thick.  I've been to a few doctors but never had any tests done really besides xrays and doctors listening to my lungs and all that stuff. I'd really like this issue to be fixed if possible would appreciate anyone's input on this especially if anyone has experienced this. It gets rather annoying by giving me constant sore throats from the coughing, headaches, and sometimes a blister every now and then it feels at least produced from the coughing.

Thanks-

I HAD the same thing.  I got rid of it with some Chinese Mediciine Tea called Ban Lan Gen.  15 Mg. bag 3 times a day for about 4-5 days.  Then I switched to another Chinese Tea but it is not as much a medicine tea but for flu symptoms (says "For Curing Cough" on the bag), and I had that for about 3 days.  The scary chect congested cough is gone.  Ocassional phlegm but seems likenormal now.
