Possibly: Use nasal saline irrigation to reduce post nasal drip, regardless of cause. Treat GERD, avoid spicy foods, eating or sleeping supine, prop pillows. Drink fluids. If the nasal congestion persists, add an over the counter nasal steroid and follow up with ENT. Watch for cough, avoid smoke and seasonal allergens.
