Sinus infection.
Clear nasal mucus or, "snot", is usually associated with allergies. If your nasal mucus is green or yellow you may have an infection and should see a doctor.
There are two main types of cough: dry cough and productive cough. A dry cough is usually caused by irritation or inflammation in the throat and does not produce mucus. A productive cough, on the other hand, produces mucus or phlegm and is often a sign of an infection or illness. Dry coughs are often described as tickly or hacking, while productive coughs are characterized by the presence of mucus. By paying attention to the presence of mucus and the sound of the cough, you can distinguish between the two types.
A nonproductive cough is a cough that does not bring up phlegm or mucus. It is also called a dry cough, and tends to irritate the throat much more than a productive cough (a cough that brings up phlegm and/or mucus) does.
A productive cough is when you cough up mucus or phlegm from your lungs. It can be managed effectively by staying hydrated, using a humidifier, taking over-the-counter cough medicines, and seeking medical advice if it persists or worsens.
One big sign is green mucus, though it can be yellow too. And of course being sick with a cough that won't go away.
