Daily nasal washes followed by a prescription nasal steroid spray. Also avoid anything to which you may be allergic.
Routine use of a nasal steroid spray can be very effective in the treatment of postnasal drip. It decreases inflammation in the nose and sinuses along with mucus production. When a nasal steroid spray is used regularly it can prevent postnasal drip. However it does not provide immediate relief of symptoms. It may need to be used every day for several weeks to months to notice improvement in the symptoms. To get the most help from any nasal spray first do a nasal wash to remove mucus from the nose and sinuses.
