Mucus isn't simply a disgusting material in your nose — it really has a helpful reason. It traps microbes, other germs, and debris, and prevents them from entering your lungs.
In some cases, such as when you have a cold or allergies, mucus may flow out of your nose or down your throat. When mucus comes out of your nose, it’s called nasal discharge. It can also be called post-nasal drip or rhinorrhea.
Although it’s annoying, nasal discharge is common and usually goes away on its own.
There are many potential causes of nasal discharge. Some of the most common include infections and allergies.
