The above-average secretion of a mucus-like secretion through the nose is referred to as a cold. It is often a symptom of a nasal infection called rhinitis. This is most commonly associated with a cold.
The cold itself defines a collection of different symptoms. Sneezing and the urge to sneeze, as well as itching and excessive secretion, can be a sign of a cold and its causes. Swelling of the nasal mucosa, which makes breathing difficult, and burning pain can also be signs.
Homeopathic remedies are used to liquefy mucus, make blowing your nose easier, and alleviate associated ailments.
