What Is Post Nasal Drip?

10. Treatment
Treatment of post nasal drip will often involve treating the underlying cause of the symptom. However, it is often possible to treat the symptom directly. This will often involve decongestants that will help to reduce the amount of mucus being produced, thus reducing the severity of post nasal drip.
Some patients will benefit from a cortisone nasal spray that will help to reduce inflammation in the nasal passages, while sinus irrigation kits can help to remove excess mucus from the sinuses. Patients should also try to sleep with their head raised at night, thus allowing the mucus to drain away effectively.
