Constant throat clearing, a cough that won’t quit, or the feeling of mucus stuck in your throat? Post-nasal drip has several causes, and the right fix depends on which one is behind it. Get same-day, ENT-focused care for post-nasal drip, in person or by video.
Post-nasal drip is the feeling of mucus draining down the back of your throat. Your nose and sinuses make mucus all the time, but when there’s too much, or it’s thicker than usual, you notice it pooling and dripping. Allergies, sinus infections, chronic sinusitis, acid reflux, certain foods, and dry or cold air are common triggers. The drip itself is rarely dangerous, but the constant throat clearing, cough, and irritation can wear on you, and the underlying cause is worth treating.
Reasons to have nosebleeds checked include:
An ENT-focused visit can identify the cause.
Same-day appointments available. Most insurance accepted.
Post-nasal drip is a symptom, not a single disease, so the key is finding what’s producing the extra mucus. Allergies, sinus problems, and reflux each call for different treatment. An ENT-focused exam sorts out the cause.
During your visit, your ENT provider may examine your nose and throat, review your history, and recommend a plan based on what they find.
Virtual ENT care can help with symptom review, identifying likely triggers, and starting treatment for many cases of post-nasal drip.
An in-person visit may be needed if your ENT provider needs to examine the nose and throat directly, order imaging, or sort out symptoms that aren't improving.
