Thanks for your reply. I think mine are due to post nasal drip/problems with drainage. Seems like the nasal drainage dries up in my nasopharynx and forms a scab there every day. But since you're mentioning infections, I think I'm going to have a nasal mucosa swab done to see if some bacteries are the cause. The scabs aren't my main problem, but the post nasal drip is driving me crazy and I guess it's all connected. Who knows someday we'll get rid of them :).
sterimar nasal spray gives relief as well definitely helps to get it out. I have saw bupa nhs all have no clue. Sometimes I cough them out and no taste. But when they do I know it’s infected and I get antibiotics.
