I've had a problem with constant post nasal drip for some time now.it worsens at night and it feels very thick in the back of my throat.what can help?

Saline rinse: A saline rinse is very helpful. Use with distilled water. Do not use tap water. You can find recipes for sine sinus rinse online or you can but premixed packers. You can also try Mucinex (guaifenesin) twice a day. If that doesn't help, I would see a physician.
