Common as we age: Many, many older people develop chronic nasal drainage/ nasal congestion for unknown reasons. Claritin or Allegra bring mixed results. Some people have great success with steroid nasal spray (a prescription). Some people use an otc sleep aid that inserts into the nostrils to widen the airway. You may have this forever without ever determining the cause or finding a great cure.
