Hi,
Excessive mucus and post nasal drip can occur in upper respiratory tract infections, sinusitis or even due to any nasal deformities. X-Ray chest and para nasal sinuses can be done to rule out any abnormalities. Nasal endoscopy should also be done to rule out any nasal defects.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
