Mucus in nose/throat can have various causes, ranging in severity from 'needs attention' to 'serious'. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose mucus in nose/throat, we could:
Cause | Probability | Status |
---|---|---|
Food Allergies | 99% | Confirm |
General Toxicity | 23% | Unlikely |
High Histamine | 0% | Ruled out |
Do you have a tendency towards producing excess mucus in your respiratory tract ("phlegm") or having chronic sinus congestion (runny/stuffy nose)?
Possible responses:
→ No / don't know→ Yes, moderate → Yes, severe |
Histamine can cause additional mucus production.
