Causes and Fixes for Postnasal Drip

Nasal Irrigation

A simple yet very effective way to remedy postnasal drip is to rinse the nasal cavity. This option is especially suitable for those cases caused by pollution or allergies. You can use a Neti pot or a squirt bottle to wash allergens or irritants out of the nasal passages. These are excessive components that would lead to the over-production of mucus. An alternative is a saline solution, which can be purchase at any drugstores or make on your own with sodium chloride and filtered or distilled water. [8]
