Nasal mucus may flow into the throat through the posterior nostril, causing throat discomfort, phlegm and coughing, and there may also be intermittent loss of smell, headache and nasal sound when speaking and other symptoms. 2. Chronic hypertrophic rhinitis is mostly persistent, with heavy nasal congestion, occlusive nasal sound, decreased sense of smell, and nasal mucus that is not easy to blow out.
