Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Preventing Postnasal Drip Postnasal drip occurs when the thin mucus secreted into the throat by the nose and sinuses decreases and thickens, causing irritation. Often triggered by respiratory ailments such as colds, allergies, and/or sinusitis, postnasal drip can be particularly bad when lying down or when you are asleep. If you experience postnasal drip, try the following: Eliminate dairy products for two months to see if the condition improves. Drink at least eight glasses (two quarts) of filtered water and other healthy liquids a day. Cut back on coffee, caffeinated soft drinks, and alcohol - all of which cause the body to lose water. If you smoke, quit. If you suspect that allergies are a cause, consider taking stinging nettle capsules to help control your symptoms.
