How Post Nasal Drip and Chronic Runny Nose Develop
Post nasal drip occurs when excess mucus accumulates and drains down the back of the throat. Some individuals also experience a persistent runny nose, frequent throat clearing, or chronic cough.
While temporary drainage may occur with colds or allergies, ongoing symptoms can be related to chronic rhinitis — a condition involving overactive nasal lining and increased mucus production.
When nasal sprays and medications fail to control persistent drainage, further evaluation may help determine whether targeted treatment is appropriate.
