A member asked:

What can cause clear mucus from sinus and nasal sores?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Brian Affleck answered

Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Allergies: Given the time of year and the fact that your mucous is clear/white, you probably are having mild allergy symptoms or you could have caught a cold. Either way, rinse your nose with saline and you might want to try an anti-histamine. They are all over-the-counter.
