Nose and throat inflammation (7)

I believe the answer is:

catarrh

(Other definitions for catarrh that I've seen before include "Inflammation often blocking the nose" , "Nasal problem" , "Arch rat with inflamed mucous membrane" , "Inflammation of membrane of nose and throat" , "Nasal discharge of mucus" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
