PND Nose Abbreviation

Post Nasal Discharge

Postnasal discharge, also referred to as postnasal drip, is a condition characterized by the accumulation of excessive mucus in the nasal passages and the back of the throat, which subsequently drains down the throat. Mucus is naturally produced by the glands in the nose and throat to moisturize and safeguard these areas. However, in certain instances, there may be an increase in mucus production or changes in its consistency, leading to the perception of mucus trickling down the back of the throat.
