Salt water: Gargle with warm salt water. Use a neti pot to help with the sinus drainage. Here's a link to a good salt water recipe for use in the neti pot: http://allergies.About.Com/od/noseandsinusallergies/a/salinerecipe.Htm. Sudafed or other decongestant might help. A prescription for a nasally inhaled corticosteroid might help.

Stop the drip: Depending on the cause of the sinus drainage: allergy, infection, etc. If allergy: try antihistamines like claritin, zyrtec, etc which are otc, nasal salt water rinses, and get a prescription steroid nasal spray from your doctor if that doesn't help. Throat sprays and gargles can help temporarily. Good luck!
