What Causes Thick Mucus To Be Stuck In The Nasal Cavity?

Hi. I just got over my cold, but somehow, I can feel that there s some very thick mucus left in my nasal cavity. I can breathe fine. I don t have post-nasal drip. But the mucus is just stuck there and sometimes it even makes me want to gag. I try blowing my nose and also coughing it out, but nothing comes out. I just want it gone completely.

Hello,
Please try steam inhalation.
You could add some vicks vapour rub to the hot water while taking in the steam. This will surely help.
