Title: Would surgery help with my 'post nasal drip'?
Post by: Lewis Thomson on 17/10/2022 15:37:43

Simon is looking for advice to this question.

"I have seen a few ENT's during the past few years who told me I have post nasal drip. They all have given me the Saline irrigation solution which has hopelessly failed to assuage the situation and quite frankly I am now frustrated by having to deal with this mucous whose tap I can't close. Is there no way the gland that secrets this nagging stuff can be "closed"? I think you know how frustrating this thing can be! The antihistamine medications I have tried have also failed to help, please help in any way you believe my situation can be sorted out. Can surgery solve this problem?"

What do you think?

Like all things in medicine, depends on whether it's a cause or effect.
