Hi,
Excessive nasal drip can be caused by a variety of factors, including allergies, sinus infections, or even the common cold. A few suggestions for you to consider are:
1. Saline nasal irrigation: Using a saline nasal spray or performing nasal irrigation with a saline solution can help flush out mucus and relieve nasal drip.
2. Over-the-counter antihistamines: Antihistamines like loratadine or cetirizine may help reduce nasal drip caused by allergies. However, it's important to check with your doctor or pharmacist to ensure they won't interact with any medications you're currently taking.
3. Nasal decongestants: Over-the-counter nasal decongestant sprays or drops containing oxymetazoline can temporarily alleviate nasal congestion and reduce drip. However, these should only be used for a short duration (usually no more than a few days), as long-term use can lead to rebound congestion.
4. Drink plenty of fluids: Staying hydrated can help thin mucus and reduce nasal drip. Water, herbal tea, and clear soups are good options.
5. Use a humidifier: Adding moisture to the air with a humidifier can help alleviate nasal congestion and reduce nasal drip.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
