Mucus production during a cold might not be as extensive as believed. Mucus serves various essential functions in the body, including trapping dust, allergens, and infectious particles.
Mucus comprises water, salts, and gel-forming proteins called mucins, aiding in the body's defense against foreign particles. Cilia help transport mucus and unwanted particles to the throat for swallowing.
