Hi! I've Had A Chronic Cough For About 3 Months

Hi! I've had a chronic cough for about 3 months now. I am a 51 year old female non-smoker. This morning I coughed up some sputum on a Kleenex. It was whitish in color. In my haste to leave for work, I forgot about the tissue.

When I went into my bathroom this evening, that same Kleenex was still there on my vanity. It was dry, but was shiny and glistened under the light.

It looked so strange.....almost like clear glitter

Should I be concerned?
