What is post nasal drip?

Nose and throat glands continually produce one to two quarts of mucus a day. This moistens and cleans the nasal membranes, humidifies air, traps and clears inhaled foreign matter, and fights infection. Although mucus is usually swallowed unconsciously, the feeling that it is accumulating in the throat or dripping from the back of the nose is called post-nasal drip. Post-nasal drip can be caused by excessive or thick secretions by throat muscle or by swallowing disorders.


What doe it mean to have cobblestone of the posterior pharyngeal wall?

The term cobblestoning is used to describe streaks of lymphoid tissue (the cells that fight bacteria) on the posterior pharynx (throat) which is usually seen with allergic rhinitis (chronic runny nose). My doctor told me that the appearance is that of a cobblestone street, hence the name. It in itself is not dangerous or life threatening but the cause of this condition could be serious and should be treated. This is also seen a lot with chronic postnasal drip.
