HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, under cause of production of mucus would be matter of concern, but in most of the cases it is due to allergic disorders although steroid is the drug of choice for this but patient need to be qualified for this, till then "Tab Loratadine with pseudoephedrine" three times in day can be tried, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
