Which disease causes extra mucus to be produced? Asthma or Allergy or both?
Ms. Sue
Allergies take many different forms -- runny nose, asthma, dermatitis, and others. The runny nose, sometimes called "hay fever" produces extra mucus.

Thnxs. Dat helps. Do u mean treated w/ medication? Can allergies be treated w/ medication too?

Yes, absolutely. Most allergies respond to over-the-counter antihistamines; in more severe cases, prescriptions from a medical doctor will ease the symptoms.
