Catarrh is a build-up of mucus in an airway or cavity of the body. Mucus is a slippery, fluid substance that the mucus glands in the nose and throat produce.
It helps moisten the nasal passages while trapping any debris, viruses, or bacteria a person inhales. This helps prevent pathogens from getting into the body, where they could cause an infection.
The body makes 1–2 quarts of mucus every day. After production, the mucus drips down the back of the nose and into the throat.
Usually, people swallow the mucus without thinking about it. However, sometimes, the mucus can build up in the nose, throat, or sinuses.
