POST NASAL DRIP TREATMENT

Treatment of Excess Mucous Production and Post Nasal Drip (PND)
It is important to determine which of the causes mentioned before is the culprit for the post nasal drip and to remove it. Next it is essential to flush the excess mucous from the nasal passages and throat area. Mucous left in this area will stagnate and cause infections which worsen the problem. Also old crusty mucous left in the nasal and sinus passages stops the intended proper drainage of the sinus cavities. Once these areas are cleaned, it is important to maintain the area.

Do not use "over the counter" medicines that contain drying agents as this will worsen the problem by making the mucous crust harder to clear. This means, do not use any antihistamines such as Claratyne or Teldane, medicines such as Codral Cold tablets or any preparations that contain pseudoephedrine. Such preparations not only will dry the area, but can increase blood pressure which can be dangerous for some people. Also avoid "over the counter" nasal sprays as these can cause a rebound affect making the problem worse when you stop them.

We have put together a kit that contains three unique nasal medicines to help cleans and disinfect the nasal passages. These sprays will not only help post nasal drip but they also are a great help in curing bad breath. In fact some of these sprays are included in our bad breath kits. Our sprays contain the following excellent ingredients:

Eucalyptus Oil (nature's antiseptic). In fact Eucalyptus Oil is commonly used as an alternative to antibiotics, and was frequently used in WWII. Because it is natural, it doesn't indiscriminately remove all bacteria like antibiotics would.
Zinc Gluconate increases the efficiency and longevity of the nasal spray by binding to the bacterial cell wall. In fact "Ease a Cold" has been shown to reduce the severity of colds by 42%, especially when taken at initial onset of symptoms.

Stabilised Chlorine Dioxide provides a cleansing and decongestant effect. This decongestant is incredibly effective when taken at nighttimes before sleep to help keep the airways open. There are no preservatives (no allergens like Benzalkonium Chloride) or artificial flavours.

FOR Nasal Irrigation on a daily basis we also include a further nasal and sinus irrigant called FESS Nasal Spray. This spray consists of isotonic saline as its main ingredient. Saline works on the tiny hairs in the nasal passages to make them work harder and remove mucous from the nasal passages. This is a 100ml spray developed by ENT surgeons in Australia. It is commonly recommended after sinus surgery or for long term sufferers of allergies, sinusitis and rhinitis. We have found it a great benefit in cases where other sprays are not sufficient alone to flush the nasal passages.

Finally visit your Doctor. If your PND is a long standing problem, we recommend that you visit your GP for further advice. Many times you can undergo desensitising injections against the allergens that are causing your problem. Your medical practitioner can help to diagnose the cause of your post nasal drip. Many times your GP will refer you on to a medical specialist.
