Why do you sneeze when you have a cold?
You sneeze more when you have a cold because the lining of your nose is very inflamed, and your nasal passages are full of mucus. Very often, this mucus, or something caught in it, irritates your already inflamed nose, and makes you feel a tickle. This causes you to sneeze forcefully, helping to clear the excess mucus from your nose.
What causes mucus to come from your throat to your mouth every now and then?
Mucus can travel from the throat to the mouth due to several factors, including post-nasal drip, which occurs when excess mucus from the nasal passages drips down the back of the throat. Other causes include respiratory infections, allergies, or irritants that stimulate mucus production. Additionally, conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can result in mucus accumulation, leading to the sensation of mucus in the mouth. This process is a natural response to help clear irritants and maintain moisture in the respiratory tract.
Is mucus a microbe?
No. It is a viscous liquid which lubricates the respiratory tract. (However, mucus can be produced in excess when microbial infections exist.)
What does it mean if you have a runny nose and what are the possible causes for it?

Ploysinusitis is the simultaneous inflammation of multiple sinuses. What causes this is that mucus gland gets blocked, but the gland keeps making mucus and cannot drain out. The mucus will then stretch the gland and creating a mucus filled cyst.
What causes mucus from neck radiation?
Mucus production following neck radiation is primarily caused by damage to the salivary glands and mucosal tissues in the throat. Radiation can lead to inflammation and decreased saliva production, resulting in dryness and irritation, which triggers the body to produce excess mucus as a protective response. Additionally, changes in the normal flora and increased susceptibility to infections can further contribute to mucus overproduction.
