A member asked:
Is is unusual to have clear mucous with chronic sinusitis? it only effects me in the mornings. i was diagnosed with it but think its allergies instead

Maybe.. sinus rinse?: Your symptoms are consistent with allergies, though chronic sinus infections can have clear mucous drainage if the infection just thickens the sinus lining and doesn't come out. The morning symptoms are consistent with allergies as well. Sinus rinses (otc like macneil brand) done up to 3-4 times a day may help your symptoms regardless of whether you have chronic sinusitis or allergies.
