Best Answer

Catarrh is an old term used to refer to the symptoms of inflammation and production of increased thick phlegm and mucus in the nose and airways; a typical symptom of the common cold and infections of the sinuses, tonsils, adenoids or middle ear. The word is from the Greek word meaning "to flow". It is rarely heard today in modern medicine terminology.

The cure depends upon the cause of this symptom. If caused by a virus like a cold or the flu, then it is treated as those conditions are (see related questions in the related question section). If caused by infections of the sinuses, bronchitis, or other bacterial infections of the nose, sinuses and air passages, then the cure is antibiotic treatment.
