What does white foam coming from the nose indicate?

Brief Answer: Not likely to be related. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for posting your query. The white foam from the nose can be due to a blocked nose or due to the infection in the nasal cavity. A direct examination will help in detecting the cause. This is not likely to be related to the trembling of the chin that she noticed. The trembling is likely to be a fasciculation that can happen due to spontaneous discharge of a bundle of skeletal muscle fibers. This could indicate the possibility of a endocrine or a electrolyte deficiency. The treatment this is usually easy and the condition will resolve with multi vitamin supplements and electrolyte rich fruit juices. In some cases, prescription medications might be needed to stop severe symptoms. I hope this answers your query.
