Dr. Sheldon Brownstein answered

Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

Uri: Mucous production is a sign of inflammation representing allergy or cold in form of respiratory infection. If there is no fever generally supportive care with fluids, anti inflammatory meds as necessary, good nutrition and sometimes antihistamines and it will run its course.
