Is this normal?
[|AI|]  Your daughter is probably suffering from chronic sinusitis. It is a condition that can be very disturbing and resistant to most medications if not handled well. The condition always interferes with mucus Chat Doctor. It could be caused by an infection, growth in sinuses or nostrils like nasal polyp, deviation of the nasal septum or allergies. It may at times give thick and discolored discharged from nostrils and this can explain the greenish mucus you saw. Treatment however will depend on the cause of the condition. Some lab and imaging investigations may at times be needed to know the exact cause: nasal endoscopy, CT scan, nasal and sinus culture, and allergy test. Depending on the identified cause, treatment options may include: saline nasal irrigation, nasal corticosteroids, oral or injectable corticosteroids, antibiotics, immunotherapy, and surgery if caused by a tumor.
