Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Clogging of the nose causing mouth breathing and then expulsion of large mucus clumps with blood can be due to the following:
- Atrophic rhinitis
- Mass in the nose .
- Hypertrophied Turbinates
Deviated nasal septum with infection and so on.
I would advise you the following:
Consult an ENT Surgeon who would conduct Endoscopy of the nose and ask for CT scan of nose and sinuses.
This will give you the diagnosis and plan for a treatment.
