Post Nasal Drip

Post-nasal drip happens when mucus from the nose "runs" into the throat.

Post-nasal drip is a symptom of another condition. When allergies are responsible for a runny nose, many people experience teary eyes, itchiness of the nose and eyes, and headaches. If you have asthma, the allergic rhinitis may make breathing even more difficult.

If an infection is causing post-nasal drip, treatment with decongestants and painkillers can be used.

If allergies are responsible, antihistamines and corticosteroids (either nasal sprays or tablets) can help. Many people are allergic only during certain seasons or times of the year.

Post nasal drip caused by allergies will go away with the irritation, and the body's immune system takes care of most infections, removing that sort of post nasal drip naturally.
