Hi,
Excessive nasal discharge or rhinitis commonly occurs due to allergy, viral infections, sinus infections, etc.
Stay away from pollen, pollution, dust, cigarette smoke, fumes. Visit ER, get examined & get X-Ray PNS done to rule out any Sinus problem. Take antihistamines, decongestants, nasal sprays to get relieved.
But you may need antibiotics & other medications if you get febrile & get a headache.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,
Excessive nasal discharge may be due to acute rhinitis due to viral infection. It may be chronic in case of chronic allergies.
Use water vapor inhalation and do salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. Use tablet Montelukast and Levocetirizine.
If symptoms not improved please consult your ENT specialist, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
