Headache and thick snot?
I have just recovered from a chest infection last month whose cough lasted for around a month. Last 15th feb i was put on amoxyclav and pulmoclear. On march 2nd i was put on cefpodem xp pulmoclear and difizma inhaler by pulmonologist.
Now, its been a week the course over, i see in the morning, i get thick jelly like snot when i clear my nose from back of my throat, once or twice I will see thick yellow snot, and then mostly it will be jelly like clewr snot.
Why is this happening again and again! How can I find a cause and get rid of this? Is this cause of allergies?

You need a plain CT scan of your paranasal sinuses. This will give your doctor information on the source of the snot and on how to manage the condition.
Next Steps
If you are in Bangalore, please come down to my clinic which is located on West of Chord Road, 5th Block Rajajinagar. Having my cliNic attached to a Diagnostic Center, I can personally scan your sinuses and give you a video report immediately, instead of having to wait 24 hours for a Radiologist's report.
