What Causes Thick, Milky Mucus Discharge From Sinus?
i had a chunk of thick mucus discharge from my sinus tonight. it was soft but would not change its shape. it was predominantly milky to clear with some dark brown streaking. while vigorously inhaling through my nose it came down into the back of my throat.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Thick milky mucous coming of nose is due to mild infection of sinus. If you don't have fever and throat symptoms, then you need not worry about I much.
Kindly do salt water gargling twice daily.
Take mucolytic syrup containing Ambroxyl.
Do steam inhalation twice a day.
Once the mucous liquifies and drains out completely, you would be relieved of such symptoms.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
