What causes gel mucus from nose and is there anything i can do to prevent this. this happens every so often.

See an ENT doctor: There are numerous causes of what you describe. Go see an ENT doctor so they can perform nasal endoscopy (place a small fiberoptic camera in your nose). You likely have a form of rhinitis (nasal inflammation causing runny nose) but could also have a form of chronic sinusitis where mucous is blocked in your sinuses and drains out occasionally. Hard to discern without a thorough exam.
