Hi Teresa
Thanks for your thoughts. My issue has been rising in importance over the last few years as recovery from dry air environments has become less certain. I have discussed it twice with my doctor in annual physicals. I am in general in excellent health. Since it was not going to kill me in the next day, the discussion was given very little medical attention. He suggested to try allergy medicines (It is not allergies) or Vaseline the 2nd time. So, I started my own investigation. Silane gel and now Vaseline seemed to help at first with the acute symptoms. But less effective recently. Perhaps there might be some nasal tissue degradation(??). Does nasal pathway skin get wrinkles like facial skin? As a result, the postnasal drip is getting more pronounced, persistent, and annoying. The challenge is postnasal drip symptoms can result from multiple source problems as in the other link you shared. So, a visit to an ENT doctor for an exam in the future is a strong possibility. But first I need to educate myself to be able to ask the right questions and understand what can and cannot be done. I searched a few threads in the ENT forum but have not read years of history yet.
