| Post Nasal Drip |
Introduction
Post Nasal Discharge (PND) is a very common condition in which excess mucus drips from the back of the nose into the throat. This condition causes irritation, coughing, throat clearing, and discomfort in breathing. Many people experience chronic post nasal discharge due to allergies, sinus infections, climate changes, or weak immunity. Homeopathic medicines are very effective because they work on the root cause and provide long-lasting natural relief.
What Is Post Nasal Discharge?
The nasal passages normally produce mucus to trap dust and germs. This mucus usually flows down into the throat and is swallowed without any problem. But when the mucus becomes too thick, sticky, or excessive, it starts accumulating and creates a dripping sensation. This is known as Post Nasal Discharge.
Common Causes of Post Nasal Discharge
- Allergic Rhinitis
- Sinusitis – acute or chronic
- Cold and flu infections
