Fluid from inflammation of the nose and throat (7)

I believe the answer is:

catarrh

(Other definitions for catarrh that I've seen before include "Arch rat with inflammation of mucous membrane" , "Nasal inflammation" , "Nasal congestion" , "Problem with cold" , "Nasal problem" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
