High Levels Of Catarrh, Blows Nose Until It Get Clear. What Treatment Should I Take?
I have been waking every morning for the last 6 months with high levels of clear catarrh , i blow my nose until i feel it clearing before i shower, so i shower then once i have finished i have a fresh batch of clear catarrh which i again blow from my nose for a good 15-20 minutes before the same happens when i brush my teeth and only stops after i have been up for at least 2hrs. I will be arranging an appointment with my GP about this as it is starting to affect my routines, so if you could give me some direction or self diagnosis I may not have to contact my GP? Many Thanks

Hello
Thanks for the query
It looks like you have rhinitis, which is inflammation of the mucous membranes of the nose. Since it has been 6 months it is most likely to be allergic in nature.
I advice to get an absolute eosinophil count done, if the counts are raised you should be taking an anti allergic like levocetrizine for a prolonged period of time. Please visit your GP for a prescription
I hope I was of help
Regards
