k



Your nose and sinuses has been infected. it has been a lot of flem and fighting going on to fight the infection. It is the flem from this battle slowly leaving your sinuses. Rinse through your nose with salted water or/ and nose spray. And do some exercise like sit ups which will increase flem production and the natural draining.
It is important to get the infected flem away so the cold doesn't reappear.

Get well

If you don't have a fever and is not feeling sick, it probably is a local virus infection. Drink tea with mint, lemon or eucalyptus. Take c-vitamins and maybe zinc, and see your doctor if it lasts.
