A member asked:
Thick nasal mucus - i have to blow my nose very hard to get the plug feeling out, it is commonly very thick, white (not clear). should i be concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thick nasal mucus: Thick nasal mucus can be related to sinusitis, but not necessarily. If you have chronic allergies or recurrent infections you should consult a doctor who can identify if there is an opportunity to improve nasal inflammation with sprays or treat infection with antibiotics. You may benefit from good nasal hygiene as well which involves using salt water rinses to clear mucus and allergens.
