Postnasal Drip Can Create Throat Discomfort Through the Day
When the nose reacts to pollen or dust, mucus can start draining down the back of the throat, which leads to a scratchy feeling that lingers through the day. It may appear early in the day as a dry, irritated feeling, similar to what you might experience after sleeping in dry indoor air. Postnasal drip can leave you with a sore throat that doesn’t feel intense but continues to return, along with pressure behind the nose that fades for a moment and then returns again. This is one of the reasons seasonal allergies tend to stick around, since the drainage continues as long as the irritant remains in the environment. You don’t need an in-person exam to understand what’s happening. A telehealth provider can talk through your symptoms, ask a few focused questions, look at your home setup, and help put together a simple plan that works.
Coughing Can Start When Irritants Settle in the Airways
A seasonal allergy cough doesn’t stay the same all day. It might show up, fade out, then return hours later. Many people describe it as dry and annoying, with a faint tickle that shows up right before the cough starts. The throat and airways react when pollen or dust reaches areas that are more sensitive. That exposure can happen outside, but it also happens indoors since pollen comes inside on clothes and shoes. The cough can pop up during conversation, while laughing, or when you take a deeper breath. It may also interfere with sleep if mucus shifts after you lie down. A provider can listen to how the cough behaves over time, connect it to your surroundings and daily routines, and help decide next steps. Telehealth makes it easier to talk through these details and put together a plan that actually fits how you live. When there’s a clear approach in place, seasonal coughs are easier to manage.
