Reply to comment by TheIncredibleMike in Where does all of the snot come from when you have a cold? by Dunkachin0

I remember being a kid/teen and not staying hydrated with even a mild cold, leading to horribly thick mucus that would get stuck in my nose or even worse my throat. Sometimes it would block most of the throat leading to panic, finally someone told me that drinking lots of water will help loosen it.

Yeah, I’m a Nurse at a long term care facility for mentally challenged residents. A good part of my shift is spent suctioning residents that have upper airway congestion.
