When the internal nasal lining becomes irritated, you can create more mucus than normal. This could cause a chronic runny nose or postnasal drip. A nasal examination by your otolaryngologist may help determine what is happening inside your nose. In some cases it may also help allergy testing done. The allergy medication (either prescription or nonprescription), anti-inflammatory and antihistamine nasal spray (prescription), or even washing with salt water could be potential treatments that might help you with your problem. Sometimes a chronic sinus infection could cause chronic postnasal drainage. If after initial screening is believed that this could be a possibility, it may require additional treatment and a CT scan performed.
