Hello Madam, do you have other symptoms such as a blocked or runny nose, even a little? Have you tried anything for this problem? Thanks for the information, I'm sorry for the delay in my response, I hadn't seen the notification! Since this appears mostly in the supine position, I would be inclined to suspect that it is the sinuses that are leaking from behind into the throat, like a leaky faucet. To this end, I suggest nasal hygiene with a saline solution (Hydrasense, Sinus Rinse and others), which can be done as often as necessary during the day, and at least 30 minutes before bedtime . By 'cleaning' the nasal secretions, we can reduce their flow back into the throat. I encourage you to drink plenty of fluids, cold or hot, depending on your preference. If this does not work, you should consult a doctor as a precaution. I will be available if you have any further questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
