OTC Medications
Since GERD can be a cause of postnasal drip, you can take some medications to treat this condition. In addition, there are many drugs that can help alleviate symptoms of postnasal drip. Mucus-thinning products can be a good start. They could help alleviate throat irritation, especially when you have thick mucus. Some nasal sprays are available for treating postnasal drip caused by allergies. You should drop two squirts in the nostril once per day to get the expected effect. Other options to consider include decongestants and antihistamines. [10]
