It is not the duration of post nasal drip that determines infection because it may just mean allergies that is not adequately managed. Increase you warm fluid intake may help loosen and ease removing secretions. If you have fever you may want to be evaluated. You may want to add environmental management also to the medication you are taking by limiting dust exposure and that includes pet dust.
