Does post nasal drip need to be treated with surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Post Nasal Drip: Greetings, post nasal drip can and should be treated with medicine first. Most common causes would be allergic and no allergic rhinitis. Fortunately both can be treated with over the counter medication. First try an antihistamine like cetirizine, fexofenadine or loratadine. All are once daily and should help quickly. Another option would be saline irrigation then finally an intranasal steroid.
