Postnasal drip occurs when the thin mucus
secreted into the throat by the nose and sinuses decreases and thickens,
causing irritation. Often triggered by respiratory ailments such as colds,
allergies, and/or sinusitis, postnasal drip can be particularly uncomfortable
when you are lying down or asleep.
If you experience postnasal drip, try the
following:
1. Eliminate dairy products for two months to see if the
symptoms resolve.
2. Drink at least eight glasses (two quarts) of filtered
water or other healthy liquids a day.
3. Cut back on coffee, caffeinated soft drinks, and
alcohol - all of which cause the body to lose water.
4. If you smoke, quit.
5. If you suspect that allergies are a cause, consider
taking stinging nettle capsules to help control your symptoms.
