Post Nasal Drip

[Health_lover]

I have some questions about Post Nasal Drip since i had it about 2 months and i have not done anything about it except consulting my physcian and he gave me some pills for it . Still no results or recovery, it has gotten a bit better, not that much irritiation. Does POst nasal drip go away with time ? Do you wait? I don't think seeing an ENT docter is necessary, So PLz , anyone who knows about this reply.

I have suffered from post-nasal drip on and off throughout my life. My doctor finally prescribed some Flonase which is a steroidal nasal spray. It has helped a lot, but it's not completely gone. You might ask your doctor if this might be helpful to you. Oh, and drinking plenty of water helps too.

Taking an antahistamine and taking Mucinex (over counter) will help post nasal drip. Elevating head of bed should help too. Irrigating sinuses with salt/baking soda solution will help keep allergen washed out and is healing. You can use 1 cup boiled water, 1/2 teaspoon plain salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (optional), stir to dissolve, strain thru paper coffee filter, fill clean nasal spray bottles. Hang head off bed and squirt a few squirts solution into nostrils, massage cheeks under eyes, turn head slowly side to side, say kkkkkkk while getting up to prevent solution draining down throat, wait a little bit and then gently blow nose. Do this morning and night. This has worked for many people and was approved by my doctor.
