And can this postnasal drip cause cough?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes...: Post-nasal drip can lead to bronchospasm which can lead to cough. Treatment would include nasal steroid spray in addition to bronchodilator and steroid inhalers.

Yes- Postnasal Drip: Every day, glands in the linings of your nose make about a quart of mucus each day. The excess can come out of the nostrils -- that’s a runny nose. When the mucus runs down the back of your nose to your throat, it's called postnasal drip. http://www.webmd.com/allergies/postnasal-drip
