What Causes Clear Mucus Discharge In Nose While Drinking Something Hot?
Since the middle of May, when I eat or when I drink something hot, or when I wake in the morning and have been standing, I have a thick clear mucus in my nose. I ve never had this problem before. What might be the problem? It doesn t seem like an allergy; at least, I m not aware of anything like food or pollen that might be triggering the mucus.
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.
It happens in this season due to hot and humid weather. Nasal mucosa gets irritated and discharges the mucous from its mucous secreting glands which become triggered and overactive.
Take Loratadine, and start nasal douches with warm saline water thrice daily. It will soothe the mucosa and you will feel definitely better. Use humidifier in room which produces cold mist. Apply vaseline in nasal cavities.
Hope I answered all of your questions. In future, if you need further, detailed and quick assistance on any health issue, feel free to ask me a question by writing my name as a reference in the start of your question. I will get back to you right away. Have a wonderful time ahead.
Regards! DR. MUHAMMAD HANIF USA
