Why does the nose drainage from some colds but not others taste really, really horrible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What's in it: obviously. Most colds are viral, drainage is clear very little in it at all! and, bacteria can grow in sinuses after cold virus infection, bring in immune cells, and... that's different.
