Frequent Mucus congestion
Hello, my husband, age 29, has been suffering from frequent mucus formation in chest and nose. This leads to heavy congestion and difficulty in breathing. This has been happening since 2014. We have seen a lot of doctors, but nobody has been able to diagnose anything in particular. Some suggested that this can be an allergic reaction, and some prescribed steroids. There is no particular thing that we could figure out that leads to this. Because of this congestion, simple day to day activity becomes difficult for him. He is not able to sleep through the night or work during the day. Anything and everything leads to the mucus formation.
