Help for Post-Nasal Drip

I've been experiencing quite a bit of post-nasal drip lately - whether it's due to an allergy or what, I don't know.  It becomes quite bothersome at times, especially at night when I'm trying to sleep.  It even makes me feel as if I have indigestion.  Is there a good medicine I can take for this?

There's a lot of things that could be causing post-nasal drip, so it's hard to give decent advice without examination by doctor.  If it's an allergy, the most effective meds, according to research, is pseudofed and singulair.  Both work differently, so you could try each, seperately. Your phlegm would be clear or light green probably

It could be a sinus infection if your phlegm is yellow or darker green.  But if you got a sinus infection without a cold first, then you should visit an ENT to make sure there's not some kind of physical blockage in your sinuses.
