My 13.5 year old son is always suffering from running nose and thick mucus discharge. Often this increases to chest congestion also and then he experiences coughing. Running nose is throughout the year, and is often accompanied by bouts of sneezing, any time of the day. It is affecting his health as well as his studies. Please help.
