A member asked:

Walking pneumonia 7yrs ago, constant phlegm + awful sticky & dried nasal mucus every night & day since. ?

Nose: If youve had a recent chest xray to make sure your lungs are okay it may be as simple as needing to drink more water and have a humidifier at night. You should see an ENT to see if its sinus related which may mean a ct scan of the sinuses
