Question 1

i have a lot of dried snot (nasal mucus) in my nose everyday. breath in dried snot may cause some sick? i don't like pick my nose.

Accepted Answer

Xlear: Your doc may tell you that you have a sinus infection.  You can use a natural product called xlear (pronounced "clear") to clean out nasal (oxymetazoline) passages and break up the biofilm where germs multiply.  Tastes good too!

Question 2

wake up every morning with nose stuffed up and filled with snot. tried allergy meds, humidifiers, decongestants. what could be cause and/or solution?

Accepted Answer

Possible allergy: Humidifiers, although moisturizing to humans, can also increase dust mite and mold populations and can sometimes paradoxically worsen allergy symptoms.  Consider allergy testing to indoor allergens.

Question 3

m, 26, filipino, i developed some sort of chronic sneezing over the past few years, in the morning and at especially at night when it's cold. does working beside an air-condition unit caused this? almost always have a runny nose and transparent snot?

Accepted Answer

: NO

Question 4

i have a sulfer smell in my nose and when i swollow the taste is in my mouth. my snot was green but now clear. what could cause this?

Accepted Answer

Sinus infection: Sounds like a sinus infection. If you were taking an antibiotic, sometimes this causes a funny taste in mouth.

Question 5

does nasonex (mometasone) cause drainage? on day 3 taking it, and all a sudden i started experiencing tons of drainage from behind my nose into my throat.

Accepted Answer

Transient: If your nasal congestion had been preventing your sinuses to drain, a reduction in the congestion provides for sinus drainage- which is actually a good thing.  However I'd expect this to stop after a week at the most. If the problem persists, talk to your doctor about trying an antihistamine nasal spray.

Question 6

can having a deviated septum cause really bad post nasal drip? anytime i have a runny nose, the snot will fall to my mouth and i gag on it.

Accepted Answer

It can contribute: Are your symptoms affecting always 1 side more than the other? Are your symptoms getting worse?it may be that you suffer from a different condition in top of your deviated septum? Have you tried anything OTC- nasal saline? Either way you will probably need an ENT eval.

Question 7

i have had a bad dry cough and a ton of mucus w/ blood in both my nose and throat. my voice has been raspy and hasn't gone back to normal. ?

Accepted Answer

Cough, blood: Likely a virus but check with MD for strep.

Question 8

can having deviated septum cause bad post nasal drip? anytime i have a runny nose,snot will fall to my mouth and gag on it. ent said sinuses are good

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: A deviated septum does not usually cause severe post nasal drip.  If you have already seen an ENT doctor and sinusitis has been ruled out, I would consult an allergist.  The major symptom of a deviated nasal septum is difficulty breathing through the side of the nose where the septal cartilage is deviated.

Question 9

i am experiencing  thick saliva or mucus in the back of my mouth where the wall of the throat is. it's been going on for 2 months, no coughing, no colds, just yellow mucus which could possibly the reason why i have yellow snot (not wet) in my nose.

Accepted Answer

Allergies.: That sounds like allergies.  Nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, post-nasal drop, headache, facial pains and earache can be triggered by fragrances, dust mites (sweeping the floor), grass, trees, pets, environmental molds and such.  There are outdoor and indoor allergens.  See a doctor soon, here or locally, as there are medications that may help.

Question 10

what causes excess mucus in throat and nose?

Accepted Answer

Allergies: It is due to allergies most of the time and also can be caused by viral upper respiratory infections.
