What's the reason for the yellowish and viscous mucus in the late stage of a cold
A cold is a common illness that everyone experiences. In most cases, a cold is accompanied by a runny nose. At the beginning, the main symptom is a clear runny nose. At this time, some treatment methods should be taken, such as dietary therapy or taking traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine for treatment. When the cold is about to recover, a thick yellow mucus will appear in the nasal cavity, which is actually a sign that the cold is about to recover.
Thickened secretions are corpses where bacteria have been knocked down by white blood cells. This situation does not require further infusion. Pay attention to rest, drink plenty of water, have a light diet, and take medication for two days.
Prevention of cold and runny nose
