Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of white mucus drainage from the nose which occurs due to cold, flu, allergies and deviated septum. Sometimes such type of symptoms can also occur due to acid reflux also. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to eat light and non spicy , eat small meals frequently , take antacid after every meal and take antacid after every meal . Also do warm saline gargles and take steam thrice a day to relieve the congestion . If condition does not get well then consult ENT specialist again . Doctor may order CT scan , allergy test and blood test . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics ( amoxicillin or penicillin ) because sometimes residual infection remain even after surgery.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
