Özet

Nasal discharge or rhinorrhea is a very common problem, especially in children [1]. Rhinorrhea occurs when excess fluid drains from the nose. The fluid is mucus that is thin or thick, clear or opaque, and can be intermittent or constant. The nose and sinuses normally produce mucus that keeps the nose moist and is typically swept back into the throat and swallowed [2].
