Q: upon blowing my nose after showering i sometimes get thick yellow mucus any way to thin this out?

: Many people use warm saline nasal washes to clean the nasal passages and this mucus. These can be used daily or less. Just make sure you use purified water, not tap water to avoid having other organisms in your nasal passages.
