How to stop post-nasal drip at night? How to stop post-nasal drip at night explained with medical causes and relief strategies.

Post-nasal drip occurs when excess mucus from the nasal passages drains into the throat, often worsening when lying down. Common causes include allergic rhinitis, viral infections, sinusitis, and reflux. This episode explains why symptoms intensify at night and how they are medically assessed.

You will learn:

• Why lying flat increases throat irritation and coughing

• Differences between allergy-related, infectious, and reflux-related post-nasal drip

• Evidence-based relief strategies (saline rinses, humidification, positional changes, trigger management)

• When antihistamines or other treatments may be considered

• When symptoms require medical evaluation (persistent sinus pain, high fever, thick discoloured discharge, chronic cough, breathing difficulty)

• When in-person examination may be necessary

We also outline how post-nasal drip is assessed during remote consultation, including symptom duration, associated conditions, and red-flag screening.

This episode is educational and does not replace urgent or emergency medical care.
