Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You may have excess nasal mucus build up because of rhinitis like nasal inflammation. You can be prescribed Oxymetazoline like group of nasal sprays for symptomatic improvement. I suggest you to consult otorhinolaryngologist for rhinoscopy nose examination. Steam inhalation helpful to loosen mucus.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
