Suggest Treatment For Severe Post Nasal Drip While On Flonase
What can I do for post nasal drip? I have tried Flonase and 2 prescription nasal sprays, Clarintin, Benadryl, a saline spray, and Zertyec. I don t think I have spelled these right, but I m sure you know what I mean. Nothing seems to work. I had an x-ray of my sinuses and they are clear, no infection.

hello.i understand your condition.
postnasal dripping can be an annoying and uncomfortable situation to be in.
since you have tried some regimens,i would suggest you to follow this for a while and see how it is
-eliminate caffeine from your diet
-drink loads of water,point is staying hydrated and thinning out the mucus secretions that is causing the annoying dripping
-please try newer antihistaminic like montelukast and levocetrizine combination for 5 days
-Take a medication such as guaifenesin (Mucinex).
-use oxymetazoline drops 3 drops each nostril three times a day followed by vapourised steam inhalation.
-though your xray might seem clear,chances are you have mild infection,
a course of cefixime-clavulanic acid 200mg twice daily for 5 days will clear it up
these are tried and tested regimens in our clinics and found them effective
.hope it works for you and i have clarified all your doubts.good day
