A member asked:
I thought water helps post nasal drip, but it makes my throat mucus thicker and worse in general..!

No: Unless you are dehydrated, drinking more water would not help your post-nasal drips. If you have hay fever, you need to see your doctor. There are also other conditions which cause a sensation of mucus getting stuck at throat as well.
