    Sinus

    i have the same issue ten weeks after my last treatMent.  Constant post nasal drip and I choke because of the lack of saliva.    Ent surgeon recommended mucinex and lots of water.   So far it has not helped.   Gulping hot water helps, as does the sauna

    cardoza33,

    I am 5+ years out and my sinus new normal does drip daily, but not all the time, requires a Kleenex box next to my chair, computer and bed and produces a series of sneezes (sometimes 10 in a row) and on a regular bases.

    No headaches.

    I never had any of these issues pre-cancer.  I will have to give the nod to the rads, they just don’t know when to stop.

    Matt
