A member asked:
Septoplasty & turbinectomy 4mths ago. cleared nose but now getting thick, clear mucus. allergy tests negative-any allergies that mightn't show on test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: There are all sorts of things to be allergic to and not all of them are included in standard allergy testing. If you continue to have allergic symptoms, consult your ENT doctor about treatments. You may do fine with antihistamines, nasal sprays, etc but best to check with your surgeon first.
