No miracles, but a couple things help, depending upon the cause. Vitamin C has a mild decongestant effect and, of course, helps the immune system, so may be helpful. My allergist recommends 3000 mg/day, particularly when things are obnoxious, like allergies can be during this time of year. Zicam or other zinc drops if the problem is that you're starting to get sick, in addition to the Vit. C. If the problem is recurring allergies, you might talk with your doc about Rhinocort or an equivalent - it's an Rx sprayed in the nose, but isn't drying like the OTC's, just stops the drainage. Oh yes, and sometimes a generic anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen helps - the cause of drainage is sometimes inflammation of the nasal tissues, so getting the inflammation down helps reduce the drainage. You might try all except the Rhinocort for a couple days, and see if that gets you through without an Rx.
TPBM is thinking "damn, G writes such ridiculously long answers sometimes...." (maybe all the time...)
