I have a productive cough but feel fine?

I'm 16 and for the past four or so days I have had this cough. It feels like I have to clear my throat a lot of the time. Most of the time I don't get anything up, but if I really try something will come up and it is brown or white. I don't have a fever or anything, it's just a cough. Should I be concerned or is this just a nasal drip and it will go away? Thanks!

Update:

I am also losing my voice (kind of croaky), but I think that it is just from all the coughing.

Update 2:

I do not smoke or do drugs.

Update 3:

I do not smoke or do drugs and neither does my family.

    Do you smoke? Because I don't think people cough up brown unless they are smokers. If you don't smoke, that may be a sigh of an infection like bronchitis. A lot of times losing your voice and bronchitis go together.
