Sorry. I would love to know too. Luckily mine isn’t quite as troublesome as yours. Hope someone gives some suggestions. I do swill out the back of my nasal passages with water after cleaning my teeth.

I had that problem. I was prescribed AVAMYS nasal spray; once a day. It certainly does the trick for me.

Cheers

My GP prescribed Naseptin Nasal Cream which contains Peanut Oil - it did help somewhat.

Fresh pineapple contains Bromelain, which has been very effective in stopping nasal drainage in myself and especially in my son, who has many allergies that trigger nasal drainage. Also plain saline nasal spray helps thins drainage, causing it to be easier to manage. J

Yes, Got it from my sinus Dr. It's for rhinitis, which just means chronic runny nose. Do you live in US? If so, it's an ez rx to get from any Dr.

I can send u a new one in a box. My pharmacy gave me three last time. I can always get more. I use two puffs in am & pm. It doesn't have steroids or narcotics in it. I can send directions with package. It really stops my nose from running. If u want it send me your address. My e-mail is sharonlane2@me.com I'll pay to ship it to you.
