Post nasal drip, or PND, can be caused by a lot of different underlying medical conditions.
This means that remedies for post nasal drip are varied.
Before doing anything to treat your existing PND, make sure that you already know what has caused your condition to develop.
First of all, you should know what the signs and symptoms are of PND.
These include halitosis, constant swallowing, constant need to clear your throat or to spit, snoring, and snorting.
You will also feel that there is mucus at the back of your throat and no amount of water can make it go away.
This is because no matter how much of the mucus you swallow, you will keep on secreting this thickened mucus until you remedy your PND.
And, because you swallow the thickened mucus, you may also feel nauseated because the mucus accumulates inside your stomach.
The causes of PND include allergies, rhinitis, sinusitis, and structural problems in your nose or throat, medications for allergies, high blood pressure and so on.
For women, post nasal drip can also be caused by birth control pills and pregnancy.
For some, PND is just the side effect of changes in temperature or eating spicy food which can easily be remedied.
For the more complicated underlying causes, the appropriate cure should be studied carefully.
You can read on this in the Bad Breath Bible which you can find at the net.
You should also see a general practitioner if your PND persists so that he can guide you to which specialist you should go.
ENT's are a favorite bet, since they can check both nose and throat.
However, it is different for allergies and the other causes.
Remedies for post nasal drip syndrome can vary from simply adjusting temperatures in your home, nasal irrigation, to antibiotics, and minor surgeries.
