Hi - I would say it's worse at night when I go to bed because you have to lay down, and then, of course, it drips worse. I can't even sleep! I've had this before when I've had a cold or whatever, but it seems to have hardened in the bronchial tubes, at least that's what it feels like. I'm trying to loosen up the mucus in the bronchial tubes, plus dry up the drip. I could take all those over the counter drugs to do this, but I would prefer to do this the natural way! thanks to all!!!!! Sincerely, Rachel
