A member asked:
Hey, i have been getting these weird small jelly balls like clear mucus coming out of my sinus and then coughed out. any idea ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mucus: This appears to be mucus plugs which may be due to excessively dry conditions like too much air conditioning. A sinus infection is less likely a cause unless you recently had a prolonged head cold. In this case the mucus is usually discolored yellow or greenish and there may be associated nasal congestion and headache
