Nasal Drip

Hi all!

Any suggestions on how to get rid of nasal drip? My Dad has a cold; the mucus from the nose seems to drip into his throat and it chokes him. He's using a saline nasal spray. He was taking decongestant tablets and spray; now he's not.

Thanks!
LisaB

Hello LisaB

looks like no one knows the answer to your dad's post-nasal drip. So how is your dad managing now?

Best wishes

Hi,

Well things were settling a bit. Then yesterday he said he felt off. This morning he said he slept pretty good and when he went to get out of bed he turned his head and his breathing cut off.

Last week the ENT surgeon said it could be acid reflux and put him on Nexium. The GP said nasal drip and put him on steriod nose spray. My Dad also feels like it's a nasal drip. He hasn't used the nose srpay yet and not sure if he should. He's just using saliane nasal spray right now. His cold seems to be getting better.

So confused.
Thanks
LisaB
