nasal discharge

Mucus from nostrils

Nasal discharge is the fluid that flows from the nose—what most people call a runny nose.

It may be clear and watery, thick and yellow, or greenish depending on cause.

Doctors use the clinical term; everyone else says My nose is running or I have the sniffles.
