Hi Nassib, There is a nasal irrigation solution called Alkalol. Mix it one part with one part water, put into a little nasal spray plastic bottle, and you can spray your nasal passages as often as you wish. Alkalol is a nasal mucus solvent and helps with post nasal drip. Mucinex will also be helpful. Drink 5 to 8 glasses of water (8 oz.) per day. Good luck and be well. Dr. P
