A member asked:

I have post nasal drip. what otc nasal spray formula/ chemical mix has been proven to be effective in limiting the drip? thank you?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pnd: Unfortunately nasal steroids or antihistamines are the best meds for your problem. Otc afrin and neoaynephrine have a high rebound risk. You could try Allegra with a nasal saline but i still would go with the prescribed options listed above. Good luck.
