Hello doctor, I am having postnasal drip for the past one month and had tablet Azee and Montair LC and took steam inhalation, but I think it got aggravated and the drip got thick because of it. I then consulted an ENT and he gave Nasomac AF spray, tablet Alaspan AM and Raciper 40. No improvement since seven days and then he gave Acetylcysteine 600 mg. The mucus comes out by coughing and I have to constantly clear my throat. I looked at the back of the throat and I could see white mucus dripping. I am 34 years old.
Hello. I understand that you are having constant post nasal drip. Is there any other symptom that is bothering you? Is there any lump sensation in the throat? Any nose block or runny nasal discharge? Any facial fullness? Did you ever have this problem before this month? The treatment given by your ENT appears to be correct and complete considering the symptoms you have told me. But are you using the spray in the right way? Antihistaminic, mucolyte and spray together should decrease the postnasal drip unless there is some pathology inside the sinuses that is producing constant mucus. Please tell us more details of your problem. Continue the same medicines for now. Take a picture of the back of the throat with open mouth showing the details of the mucus drip and send it to us. Please let us know if you are using the spray in the right way. If you are doing everything properly and this is the only symptom you are facing, then probably we need to check the insides of the nose using nasal endoscopy and a CT scan of sinuses. Next, is there any allergy that you suffer from? Do you smoke? Is your workplace ridden with dust smoke or pollution?
