How to cure post nasal drip?I'm 20 yrs old and I have a deviated septum ever since I was about 12 yrs old. My left nostril is completely blocked, allowing no air to go through. Anyways I have post nasal drip and get sore throats and tonsil stones a lot. I was wondering if the deviated septum is the cause of these problems since I'm forced to breathe through my mouth and quickly lose my breath during exercise.
Also, according to the doctor I have hugee tonsils, but she doesn't believe in getting them removed even though I suffer from painful sore throats, especially right now in the cold weather

You need to see a good ENT specialist. Increased thick secretions in the winter often result from dryness in heated buildings and homes. They can also result from sinus or nose infections, allergies and, yes, a deviated nasal septum (which can be corrected surgically).
You at least need a second opinion. Your description of PND and the consequences sounds debilitating to say the least.

Hi C,
It is possible that your post nasal drip is what is causing sore throats and tonsil stones.
Have you tried using a nasal-sinus irrigator? It just takes a few minutes a day and will probably be the most effective treatment for you. It will flush out your nasal passageways. That in combination with good oral care (brushing your teeth 2-3 times a day and using a mouthwash) should help. A lot of medications may give you dry mouth which causes bad breath, although they can definitely be helpful too.

Tonsil stones are often misdiagnosed and fairly common. They are caused by the accumulation of sulfur-producing bacteria and debris that become lodged in your tonsils. These can also lead to bad breath.
You may want to consider seeing your dentist, but he/she isn't being helpful, then most likely you can remove the tonsil stones at home. Use an oxygenating toothpaste and mouthwash. When used in combination with nasal sinus drops it should eliminate your tonsil stones, having your tonsils removed is probably not necessary.
