Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
Answers and solutions for your queries and problems.
1. Dripping through nose during swallowing is nasal regurgitation or speech difficulty (hypernasality) commonly occurs after palate surgery due to delayed
healing or due to infection or due to fistula (connection between oral cavity and nose).
2. Nasal catarrh- commonly seen in allergic rhinitis individuals, hypersensitivity of nasal mucosa to pungent smells or spicy foods, stimulates the receptors and causes nasal pain and watering through nasal cavities. can be managed with nasal decongestant drop (over the counter xylometazoline 3drops/3times).
3. Do not worry, it takes time (your treating doctor confirmed, there is no infection).
4. In case of severity, you need to consult swallowing specialist ( to learn different postures during swallowing to avoid regurgitation).
All the best, take care.
