Post nasal drip: You may have a post nasal drip that may be caused by an allergy. Consult your doctor he may want to refer you to an allergist. In the meantime take antihistamines before bedtime, .

Possibly Allergy: It sounds like you might be suffering some allergy symptoms. It could be airborne or even a food allergy causing this. If it is only slightly annoying, try taking an allergy med over the counter but if it gets worse or is more troublesome, have it checked out. Even if the meds help, talk to your md next time you have your annual check-up.
