Post Nasal Drip
I am close to 9 months pregnant and have been suffering from post nasal drip. I was diagnosed with acute sinus congestion, nasal inflammation and bacterial infection in throat. Post some antibiotics medication, levocitrazine and steroid nasal sprays, the bacterial infection is not there. Even my sinus congestion is better. However, inside my nose it is still red and inflamed. And this post nasal drip is not going away, it has reduced though after eating montek lc as levocitrazine was not able to reduce it. The constant throat clearing and swallowing of mucus gives me a sore throat too. What can I do to get rid of post nasal drip. I have tried taking steam and gargling but no use. Presently I am still eating Montek LC and using Isotonic nasal spray to clear mucus from my nose.
