Cilia are present on the surface of the airways, including the nose, sinuses, throat, bronchi, and lungs. Healthy cilia are constantly active, helping to move excess mucus up from the lungs and out toward the nose and sinuses.<\/p>\n<p>When the cilia do not function properly, the mucus produced remains stagnant and accumulates. This leads to mucus plugs in the airways, obstructing airflow, and a similar issue occurs in the nose and sinuses.
