Chronic Cough – Diagnosis and Treatment

Treat Postnasal Drip

Postnasal drip happens when the mucus from the sinuses and nasal passages drips down the throat. This leads to coughing. The most effective treatments for this issue are antihistamines and decongestants. You can purchase them over-the-counter without any prescription. Make sure to follow the directions and take the right dosages to prevent side effects like dry mouth or dizziness. Sometimes, it is better to consult your healthcare provider before use, particularly when you are taking other drugs or have some health issues like high blood pressure. [6]
