A member asked:

Bloody nose last night now constant clear drainage down the back of throat but not a runny nose..why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Drip: May be dryness leading to postnasal drip,less likely the onset of a cold or silent acid reflux. With the bloody nose, consider a humidifier at night. That may help the drip as well
