anyone have any more to add? This happened to me recently....I just kept blowing and blowing my nose and all this thick, gross, gooey white phlegm kept coming out. Like 10 minutes, seriously. It was the weirdest thing and it lasted a long time. I wasn't sick, haven't been sick, it really came out of nowhere. Interesting that others have experience it.

It’s yeast infection invading our sinuses and you must have your immune system checked and start taking acidophilus. If you can get it a prescription for diflucan. Nasal rinses will make you more comfortable but to get rid of yeast anywhere in the body is oddly very difficult to do.

I notice it happens to me, whenever the weather changes or the smog factor is higher. I've always been sensitive to weather change, but that was mainly just sneezing. Then a couple years ago I helped someone move and clean house. I was subjected to high amounts of dust and some mold. I figured my sinuses would go back to normal once the job was over, but instead they have continued to be more sensitive. The smog factor was high yesterday, and I noticed several people sneezing and coughing more. My sinuses have remained pretty much completely clogged regardless of how much whit mucus I blow out. Nothing I take even seems to help much. Decongestants make my nose run, but never completely clear it. To make this long story short. I think a lot of it is a natural reaction to all the unnatural pollutants in our air today.

EXACTLY what I surmised! Yeast infection!
I had 5 weeks of severe respiratory infection triggered by sinus infection. Gross dark yellow & thick nasal secretions treated with Biaxin. Then suddenly white, thick, pasty secretions. First thought = yeast due to antibiotics. Trying not to take Diflucan because I have already been on so many meds. Will give Acidophilus a whirl first. Thank you!

I've had problems for a year now and the ENT has no idea what's causing the white mucus and I've had Hybrid sinus work done (ballooning both sinuses and grinding being done also) I noticed cold weather or a.c. causes the mucus to get thicker and plug up the sinuses way up inside because my sinuses are clear that breathing is great but then the sinus pressure pain comes and the only thing that stops it is black coffee, I've stopped all dairy products and processed food and nothing has worked. I started losing weight 10 months ago also because I can't sleep through the night because of the face pain and have even had a blood specialist trying to find out what's going on so after MRI's ultrasounds and boatloads of bloodwork nobody has been able to find out what's wrong with my body with a weightloss of 78 lbs in 6 months and still losing weight I don't have allergies either and never have but I can say that all my problems started back 6 years ago when I got 2 sinus infections in a 2 month period from a local waterpark , ENT Dr this year can't figure out what's going on even did a CT scan.

The white sticky discharge came from my nose. It is coming out repeatably, one hour apart. What can I do to stop it?

I have been coughing up this white opaque phlegm for over a month. There are no other symptoms. Blowing my nose doesn't help I can only cough it up. Should I have it checked?
