Coughing up something clear and jelly-like should be considered a disease of the lower respiratory tract infection, for example, bronchial dilatation is the most common. Due to bronchial dilation, bronchial secretions increase significantly, and with time, they can be concentrated into jelly and jelly-like, and coughed out of the body by forceful sputum excretion and coughing. If it is not accompanied by obvious infection, it is mostly jelly-like and transparent, and if it is accompanied by infection, it can be yellow and transparent jelly-like. The transparent jelly-like stuff also needs to be alerted to whether it is produced by postnasal reflux coagulation of nasal secretions, and the precipitated material in the nasopharynx is coughed out of the body by forceful coughing, which needs to be considered as a chronic infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract and needs to be further clarified by nasopharyngoscopy or even paranasal sinus CT. In the case of lower respiratory tract, fiberoptic bronchoscopy and high-resolution CT of the chest are needed to further clarify whether it is a chronic infection.
