Detailed explanation-1: -Mucus has several names. Snot, the sticky goo that pours from your nose during a cold. Or phlegm, the gunk that can clog your lungs and make you cough. You probably aren’t a fan of the stuff. But mucus is so much more than a runny nose.

Detailed explanation-2: -It may be a thin clear fluid, thick mucus or something in between. The drainage may run out of your nose, down the back of your throat or both. The terms “rhinorrhea” and “rhinitis” are often used to refer to a runny nose. Rhinorrhea actually refers to a thin, mostly clear nasal discharge.
