Diagnosis first.,,: In order to treat or prevent this, you need to find out what the cause is. Post-nasal drip, which can increase at night when you lie down, might be the etiology of your symptoms and this can be treated with prescription nasal sprays, for example. So, if this continues to be bothersome, see your doctor for evaluation and treatment.
