How much mucus can the body produce in one day?
That's interesting. Does mucus play a role in respiratory infections like colds and flu?
Yes, it does. Infections like colds and flu can cause the body to produce excess mucus as part of the immune response. The mucus helps to trap the virus and other particles so that they can be expelled from the body more easily. However, excessive mucus production can also make it difficult to breathe and can lead to coughing and congestion.
