Thanks, Manjit Singh, Ropar Punjab Cell no 0000.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand..

As per your complain Post Nasal Drip can occur due to a number of causes like Sinusitis, acid reflux, chronic upper respiratory tract infection, allergies etc..
I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation land investigations as per the cause suspected can help in ruling out the exact cause and treatment can be planned accordingly..
As of now you can do steam inhalations, warm saline gargles, take decongestants like Phenylephrine and mucolytics like Bromohexine for relief..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
