WHAT DOES POSTNASAL DRIP MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Post-nasal drip

Post-nasal drip occurs when excessive mucus is produced by the nasal mucosa. The excess mucus accumulates in the throat or back of the nose. It is caused by rhinitis, sinusitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, or by a disorder of swallowing. It is frequently caused by an allergy, which may be seasonal or persistent throughout the year. However, other researchers argue that mucus dripping down the back of the throat from the nasal cavity is a normal physiologic process that occurs in healthy individuals. Post-nasal drip syndrome as a concept has been challenged due to a lack of an accepted definition, a lack of any pathologic tissue changes and no available biochemical tests. The phrase has been described as a "pseudo-syndrome" which serves as a catch-all, waste-basket phrase that is unhelpful.

Definition of postnasal drip in the English dictionary

The definition of postnasal drip in the dictionary is a mucus secretion from the rear part of the nasal cavity into the nasopharynx, usually as the result of a cold or an allergy.
