trying to research my nasal prob and not sure of the proper term for 'buggers'?

Question

Not normally a prob, but the buggers have been building a fort in my nose for the past 6 weeks. (I'll get 'em out; they come right back) Sometimes they are so bad I am unable to breathe out of left nostril. I believe it is associated with a sinus prob on left side of face. I also have chronically bad teeth near those sinus cavities. Anywho, I have all this presecription nasal medication given to me by my MD father in law, but not sure if my symptoms are worthy. I'm trying to google bugger problems and evidently this isn't the best search term. What is the medical term for buggers?

Answer 1

You should ask you Dr. to refer you to an ear nose and throat specialist, you could have a problem with infection,adenoids, or allergies. And the proper term for "boogers" is mucus.

Answer 2

The word is actually "boogers" and there really isn't a medical term persa' but try "dried mucous" for a description to locate more info.

But seriously here...................

I would worry more about those bad teeth then the booger problem. Brush and blow, brush and blow!
