I'm a male 60 years old and have been putting up with PND for a long time. I am here to tell everyone, thank you all for your stories and medical nightmares concerning ENT's and Medical Doctors. For the last ten years I have put up with the hacking, coughing, spitting, wheezing, lump of mucous in the throat and some of the other symptoms you all experience. As of yesterday 2/20/2009 I started a regimen of nasal flush with 8 oz. water (boiled and let cool)  mixed with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt & 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. Use this with a bulb to squirt into each nostril or snort into each nostril out of your hand, whatever works for you. I also purchased a bottle of Oil Of Oregeno from GNC, best $20 bucks I've ever spent. Have mixed 3 drops of OOO with 8 oz. tomato juice and have had only five servings and already I notice a big difference. I must also say I started this due to the cold or sinus infection which made me get on the Internet and search for some relief. I got feed up going to an ENT here in Parma, Ohio about 8 yrs ago. Told him my story and wanted him to scope my throat because I had read an article about node growths on peoples vocal cords or early signs of throat cancer. I had smoked cigarettes and cigars from the age of 14 to 32 and then quit cold turkey. Haven't smoked for 28 years. When my throat started bothering me, I made an appointment to have tests done. Went to Parma Hospital and  did the Barium Swallow while they X-rayed my throat. After the Radiologist read the x-rays, I was told everything was normal. Still did not have throat scoped  like I wanted & made another appointment with another ENT who scoped my throat in his office and told me everything looked normal to him.
My problem remained with me, the most disgusting being the constant spitting of phelgm and the sensation of some glob stuck in my throat. I too was given a prescription for nexium because he thought I had GERD. Didn't help. As of yesterday my diet will change -No BEER, WINE, MILK PRODUCTS and WHEAT PRODUCTS. Going to stay the course and see if this truly does help me. Thanks to all of those with a similar problem and I hope this helps some of you because we all are different. Thanks again.
