The mucus when i blow my nose is thick and almost solid white. i'm not consuming dairy products. what would cause this?

Infection.: The illness is most likely viral but could also be a bacterial infection. Needs to be checked out. The milky color has nothing to do with dairy products. See your doctor soon to get this treated the best. Best wishes.
