What can I take for post nasal drip?

jenna1008

I read the post below, but my problem is the constant flow down the back of my throat.  My OB never gave me a list of dos/don'ts or permissable meds.  (Crazy, I know.)  Thanks for any suggestions.

I use plain sudafed sparingly....the last 2 days I've used it first thing in the morning along with a plain mucinex. A neti pot works wonders for that drip down the back of the throat.  I have Neil Med's squeeze bottle but most find the Neti Pot an easier starting point.

all of that is on my OB's safe list.

Plain Sudafed.

I would also try sleeping with a warm mist humidifier at night. It really helps

I take the regular behind the counter Sudafed when I really can't breathe.  I use saline mist throughout the day and before bed and it seems to help break stuff up and keeps me from drying out.  I could never get the hang of the neti pot but I know other pregnant women who swear by them.

I agree with all above, plain sudafed and a humidifier.

Saline mist works wonders. For me, I was getting up to pee constantly all night anyway, so using the saline mist if i was stuffy while i was already up wasn't much of a concern.

Claritin didn't work much for me, but the doctors also say you can use that safely.
