My druggist suggested "Option + brand" Nasal + Sinus Decongestant Relief Caplets. They work great with just one per day and no prescription required. Cost about $8. for 24 tablets.

Me too @A MyCOPDTeam Member. Really aggravating. I keep a tissue in my pocket all the time. Sometimes I forget and it ends up shredded all over my clothes in the washing machine. UGH!!! I've forgotten which one, but one of my meds can cause this. Can't remember if it is a nebulized one or a puffer.

I, too, have that issue. My dr. prescribed a nasal spray--Ipratropium Bromide nasal spray and it does help me.

What helps with nasal drip that happens at inconvenient times?

Unfortunately, there isn't a specific "cure" mentioned in the available information about managing nasal drip with COPD. However, there are some general strategies that might help:

Staying well-hydrated can help thin mucus and secretions. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day and using a humidifier in your home can make secretions less thick and easier to manage.

Hot beverages like tea may also help by relaxing your airways and thinning mucus.

If you're experiencing excessive nasal drainage, it's worth discussing with your doctor. They can evaluate whether it's related to your COPD medications (like inhalers), allergies, or other factors, and recommend appropriate treatments.

Some MyCOPDTeam members have found that keeping tissues handy and being prepared for these moments helps manage the embarrassment, even if it doesn't solve the underlying issue.

Your healthcare provider might suggest specific medications or techniques tailored to your situation, so don't hesitate to bring this up at your next appointment.

Can’t remember the name of it, but there’s a nasal spray from the doctor that will stop that
