Postnasal Drip

Every day, glands in the linings of your nose, throat, airways, stomach, and intestinal tract produce mucus. Mucus is a thick, wet substance that moistens these areas to:

 • fight infection

 • moisten nasal membranes

 • filter out foreign matter

When your body produces more mucus than usual and runs down the back of your nose to your throat, it's called Postnasal Drip. Read about the causes, symptoms, treatment and prevention of Postnasal Drip here.

Most cases of Postnasal Drip clear up on their own. However, talk to your trusted pharmacist at The Local Choice Pharmacy when symptoms last for more than 10 days to prevent complications.
