What is Rhinocort Aqua nasal spray good for? Will it cure post nasal drip?
Hi, I’m a licensed Pharmacist. This is a steroid nasal product and is not for post nasal drip. In fact, the previous answer is incorrect, it will not only not solve the symptom but inhibits natural immune defenses in the sinuses which commonly ends up creating chronic sinus infections. I always counsel my patients to use steroid products sparingly and only when nothing else works.
post nasal drip is created by allergies, especially if accompanied by any other kind of drippy, itchy, sneezy -ness.
Decongestants like Sudafed, or antihistamines like Claritin, Zyrtec or Benadryl are more appropriate for a drippy nose. If the symptoms have been happening for less than 3 days, antihistamines have a good chance of nipping the problem in the bud. After that window of time, they are less effective and decongestants should be added.
Hope that helps, best of luck!

It is a useful information about drip irrigation. I am a farmer and we have very large fields, before drip
irrigation system was found it was a nightmare to irrigate all those fields because where i live is a place
that does not rain so much. Now we use drip irrigation, saving so many water and it is a lot easier to irrigate
the field with that. I am trying to read everything about drip irrigation and i recommend every farmer to use that
technique, so i am grateful for everyone who gives information about it. I also found a very good guide about drip
irrigation and it may be useful too for those who want to learn more information about that;
