You've tried just about everything over the counter.

Patanase is over the counter and I think they just released azelastine over the counter as well(astepro). Those are both anti-histamine nasal sprays that may help.

Otherwise ipatropium bromide can also be useful, but prescription. Ent can always look and make sure you don't have a persistent sinusitis or other issue causing the post nasal drip if you fail the above.

Lastly, sometimes post nasal drip isn't always because of allergies/nose issues. Occasionally post nasal drip is due to reflux...so may need to consider a different treatment.

That’s great information, thanks. I’m going to try Azelastine next and if that fails, I’m going to the ENT. I have no other symptoms besides post nasal drip. No congestion, headaches, persistent cough.

News to me. But it’s definitely on Amazon for sale in the OTC section.


I usually turn to Atrovent for patients first because i get fewer complaints about weird aftertaste, but if I were the OP, I’d probably grab this before going in.
