What Causes Nasal Congestion And Persistent Cold?

I had a really long cold for about a week and I think it was a sinus infection. But the right side of my nose was clogged and I blew into a tissue really hard and a long strand of mucus came out, like it was stuck together and sticky, just a large string of it, this has never happened before so why am I experiencing this?
