Frequent sneezing and nasal drainage is often associated upper respiratory infections or allergic rhinitis.  If is a response to allergens, there are different types of nasal sprays in addition to types of allergy pills that can be tried to help control symptoms.  Allergy shots can be considered for the long term as well.  The first step is determing the cause of your drainage and nasal obstruction.  Get an evaluation by an ent to complete a thorough exam of your nose as well as review your history to get a diagnosis and start you on a treatment plan.  Good luck.
