What Is The Treatment For The Drainage From The Sinus Into The Nose And Throat?

I have had a drainage from my sinus into my nose and throat for several years. I probably blow my nose 10 ot 15 times a day and have to clear my throat numerous times. The mucus is clear from the nose and light tan from my throat. Been to family doctor and ENT without any luck. One suggested allergy clinic but said it would run into the thousands!!!

Hello,
Welcome to HCM.

From your history, my impression is you are having what we call "pot-nasal drip".

The most common cause of this symptoms is chronic rhinosinusitis, which may be due to allergies.

I would suggest you 2 weeks of intranasal corticosteroid sprays along with a combination tablet of antihistamine & montelukast daily.

Well, this will improve your symptoms currently.

As you are having these symptoms for years, I would suggest you daily nasal irrigation/wash with normal saline spray & breathing exercises (or Pranayama) to recover faster.

Please stay away from dusts, smokes & polluted areas.

Wish you a faster recovery & best of the health.

Regards.
