A member asked:
Can an eye infection cause post nasal drip? will antibiotic eye drops help the drip?
10 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Post nasal drip: The quick answer is no, but i think you have eye and nasal allergies, not infection and the nasal allergies can cause a drip. An allergist will help.

Possible: It is possible as the secretions from eye drain into the nose through a duct called nano lacrimal duct. Always check with your doctor for any specific issues.
