A member asked:
I have phlegm white coming down back of my nose making my throat sore doctor has given me betnesol drops will this help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nasal steroids: This is betamethasone, a steroid which will diminish the inflammatory response, and if that is what is producing the post-nasal discharge it may well be effective. Frankly would use nasal saline irrigation with a Neti-pot daily before using steroids without a specific diagnosis.
