Post-nasal drip caused by when excessive mucus is produced by the nasal mucosa. The mucus accumulated at the back of the throat and back of the nose.
it is caused by sinusitis, rhinitis, allergy, acid reflex, deviated nasal septum, adn some birth control pills.
Symptoms:
Postnasal drip creates an annoying feeling that makes you want to constantly clear your throat.
Because the feeling of the liquid in your throat is irritating and contains inflammatory substances, postnasal drip also can trigger a cough, which often gets worse at night.
In fact, postnasal drip is the most common cause of chronic cough. Excess mucus running down your throat may also make you feel hoarse and give you a sore throat.
