Post-nasal drip (PND) occurs when excessive mucus is produced by the sinuses. The excess mucus accumulates in the throat or back of the nose. It can be caused by rhinitis, sinusitis, or laryngopharyngeal acid reflux. It can be enhanced or sometimes even caused by allergies, whether in spring, fall or early summer. The term PND is considered obsolete by some sources and is now referred to as "Chronic Upper Airway Cough Syndrome".[1] However, the term "post-nasal drip" is still used in modern medical literature[2][3], though some do not consider the term to be well-defined.[4] PND may be, in some cases, a contributing cause for halitosis - bad breath arising from the posterior tongue dorsum. [5] An individual may be diagnosed as suffering from post-nasal drip if they suffer from the following symptoms.
