Brief Answer:
This is suggestive of Rhinitis or upper respiratory tract infection!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this mucus that you have reported and the difficulties to sleep. The description of your symptoms is typical of postnasal drip. This occurs when an infection in the nose and sinuses drains to the back of the throat. It often causes irritation followed by coughing which reveals the mucus.
Following the surrounding circumstances of this onset, it is most likely an infection in the upper airways of allergic nature. In addition to Crocin and antibiotics, I will recommend that you add a cough syrup as well as Benadryl. This way the symptoms would be better managed and you can live better while the antibiotic treats the infection.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
