The glands in our nose and throat continually produce mucus which has various functions like filtering and humidifying air, cleaning nasal membranes, microbial resistance, etc.Although mucus normally is swallowed unconsciously, the feeling that it is accumulating in the throat or dripping from the back of your nose is called post-nasal drip. The most common reasons for this is sinusitis, flu, common cold, etc.Generally it requires no treatment but if it is present for long duration then it is better to consult your doctor.
