What is the best otc for post nasal drip & sore throat that accompanies it? i have no other symptoms but it has been constant for several weeks

Sore throat: If this has been going on for several weeks, i would have you see your doctor as otc medications at this time would only mask the problem. The problem will most likely not go away on its own at this point. Feel better!

Saline nasal spray: A saline nasal spray should alleviate your post nasal drip temporarily but you will need to have a more permanent solution if the problem persists, and you may prescription nasal sprays. A visit to the allergist can identify your triggers and guide you for long term control of your symptoms.
