Postnasal Drip
Postnasal drip is an uncomfortable sensation where the secretions from the nose drips down the throat. The slow movement can be felt and aggravates the throat enough to cause a dry cough.
Postnasal drip can indicate upper respiratory diseases, such as upper airway cough syndrome.4Chung, Kian F., and James H. Hull. ‘Upper Airway Cough Syndrome.’ Clinical Decision Support for Health Professionals, 13 Sept. 2018, bestpractice.bmj.com/topics/en-us/1209 The syndrome is a common cause of dry cough that lasts more than eight weeks. Other symptoms include an unpleasant sensation in the throat and occasional wheezing.
