Post nasal drip: It sounds like sinus drainage. If it was blood, you would be able to cough it out. Sinus drainage is usually thick and moves slowly down the back of the throat causing a need to cough and clear your throat often. Otc decongestants usually work well but if it continues to worsen, you may need an ENT evaluation.

PND: The symptoms are post-nasal drainage or pnd. The differential diagnosis may include nasal allergy, non-allergic rhinits, rhino-sinusitis and in children may even be mucus drainage from the adenoid (nasopharyngeal tonsil). If your tonsils are large, make sure you do not have a sleep disorder.
