Simple Ways To Prevent And Treat Postnasal Drip

Use A Neti Pot

Neti pots are containers individuals can use to rinse mucus and debris out of their nose. By doing this, individuals help remove the excess mucus and keep it from dripping down the back of their throat. Neti pots can be used for any number of mucus-related issues including nasal allergies, colds, and sinus infections that present with stuffy mucus. Individuals can create a saltwater solution at home, but they must use distilled or sterilized bottled water. They should only use tap water if it's been through the highest quality filter available or they have boiled it for multiple minutes and let it cool to room temperature. A neti pot is used by tilting the head over the sink and putting the spout inside the upper nostril. Individuals doing this should breathe through their mouth so they don't inhale the solution, and pour the solution into one nostril until it drains out the other.
