Post nasal drip: Seasonal allergies, upper respiratory tract infections, gerd can cause post nasal drip. You need to treat the cause, if it is allergy the allergens needs to be determined by allergy testing, if it is flu or cold they need to be treated , if gerd that needs to be treated to prevent post nasal drip.
