What Causes Sudden Clogging Of Nose And Mucous Coming Out?

OK, I don't know if this works or not, but: I all of a sudden felt like one side of my nose was clogged, and I blew my nose, and had a thinner mucous come out. And I feel like I could continue to blow it out--it doesn't seem to go away. I am nervous that it's cerebrospinal fluid. Any way to indicate that?

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have clogging of nose and mucous coming out . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like allergies , hay fever , nasal polyps , chemical exposures , chronic sinusitis or upper respiratory track infection . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan , nasal endoscopy , viral culture test and blood tests . Doctor may prescribe antibacterial or anti viral depending upon the diagnosis along with decongestant or expectorant like ambroxol . Doctor may also prescribe anti allergic or recommend surgery in case of deviated nasal septum or nasal polyp . For now apply warm compresses on nose , keep your head elevated while sleeping , take steam and take benadryl twice a day .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
