10 Post Nasal Drip Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #5: Nausea
As gross as it may sound, it is not unusual for the mucus in our nose to be disposed of by swallowing. Here, it will simply be digested and recycled without doing any harm. This usually happens in very small amounts, though, and cause us no harm whatsoever.
In cases of post nasal drip, however, the volume of mucus that is swallowed is likely to increase considerably. With more than usual mucus finding its way into the stomach, the body is likely to react negatively to its presence, causing us to become nauseous. It can also cause the patient to vomit the mucus up in some cases.
