Having Allergy And Asthma, Why Is My Nostril So Sensitive And Pouring Mucus?
I am a long time allergy sufferer (50) years. Asthma since childhood but totally controlled with Advair.
After 30 years of allergy shots and , I have had no attacks to speak of in the past few years. Occasional nasal polyps.
Yesterday afternoon I had what seemed as an immediate allergy attack. I have taken my standby antihistamine Chlorophenaramine with no affect. Also taken 40mg cortisone which my doctor lets me keep on have for colds that seem to move to my chest to be taken at my discretion.
My upper right nostril is extremely sensitive and pouring mucus. Should I call my allergy/asthma doctor on a Sunday?

the answer to your question is
in allergies the mucosa of nose become sensitive and even a slight temp change in air going through nose affects the sensitive mucosa causing excess mucus formation
till you see your doctor
yu can use anti allergic tab
along with application of neomycin hyderocortosone ointment in nose twice a day
and hypertonic saline nasal drops in nose
to get relief
