Constant thick clear mucus in the nose
Ive been having constant thick clear mucus in the nose since may 2017 and i have had a ct scan of my sinsius that came back normal. I have been doing research and was wondering could it be a staph infection in the nose? I have no clue what it is. Im just annoyed by it and have tried saline and nose sprays and different allergy medicine. The allergist said it isnt allergys.

Staph infection of nose and sinus will be severe rhinosinusitis which will present with nose congestion, purulent nasal discharge and. Headache. You seem to be suffering from allergic rhinitis which requires long term treatment with anti Histamine medicines and steroid nasal sprays.
