8. Postnasal Drip
Our nasal cavities are lined with a type of mucus (snot) that helps to clean the air as we breathe it in. We will notice this mucus occasionally, especially when we are ill and the mucus is produced in larger than usual volumes. We can also notice it when we develop a condition known as postnasal drip.
Postnasal drip is a condition where excess mucus continually drips down the back of the patients throat as it is disposed of. This causes a number of unwelcome symptoms, include a sore throat, bad breath, a cough, nausea, and the need to keep on clearing the throat.
