Brief Answer:
Hi,

Detailed Answer:
Hii. Welcome to the healthcare services. It seems that you are having acid reflux and may be some allergic inflammation of nose which can cause post nasal drip. Prilosec is Omeprazole. You can take Esomeprazole or Rabeprazole 20 mg once daily before food for 2 week. Avoid too much spicy food, smoking,alcohol. Drink plenty of water. Sleep after 2 hours of dinner. If you are having irregular stools or constipation then take more fibre rich food. Take warm saline gargle alternate with hexidine gargle for proper oral hygiene. Take nasoclear nose drop 3 drops twice daily for 2 week. Take steam inhalation for proper humidification of nose. All these will help you. Please review if you have any queries.
Thanks.
