How Can Post Nasal Drip Be Treated?

Hello, I continuously have the feeling of something stuck in the back of my throat. I suffer from post-nasal drip and In the mornings it is the worst. It gets so bad, I literally choke and sometimes regurgitate. At the same time I am breathing normally and within a matter of seconds, I am completely congested. Which makes my condition worst. I only get some relief when I eat a cough drop or something that relieves the congestion.

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Feeling of something struck in throat and post nasal drip in morning along with regurgitation can be due to acid reflux that is more common while lying down..

I would suggest you to consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like upper G.I Endoscopy can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

You can be advised to take Proton Pump Inhibitors like Omeprazole or Pantoprazole..
Take antacids like Milk of magnesia..
Avoid spicy food and drink plenty of water..
Always take walk after meals and take your dinner atleast 2 hours before sleep..
You should sleep with head slightly raised as compared to feet..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
