What Is Post-Nasal Drip?

Post-nasal drip occurs when the mucus your body produces becomes abnormally thick or thin, and you become aware of mucus draining down the back of your throat. To be clear it is natural and normal for mucous to run down the back of the throat but you don't typically notice it as long as it is the right consistency. Conditions that frequently cause or contribute to post-nasal drip include:

* sore throat
* voice loss or hoarseness
* persistent cough

These symptoms can be caused by allergies or cold viruses. Post-nasal drip can also occur with hormonal changes such as happen during pregnancy or as a side effect of certain medications.
