Comfort is an important factor when choosing a fishing rod and a rod may feel different in different people's hands. Look for any cracks or poor workmanship in the rod. Defects may make it more likely for the rod to break in the future. If the rod breaks down into more than one piece, attach the pieces in the store and make sure they attach securely with no wiggle room. The guides are the loops that attach the line to the rod. They may be made of any kind of metal or ceramic. The more guides there are the better quality the rod, as the line is more controlled by the rod. Hold the rod at eye level and look down the length of the rod from the tip to the butt to make sure the guides line up properly.

Summary: Hold the rod in your hand. Check for defects. Check the guides.

Dehydration can aggravate the symptoms of rhinitis and postnasal drip. Avoid caffeine and alcohol, which can cause dehydration. Water is the best choice to remain hydrated while suffering from rhinitis and postnasal drip. Look at your urine to determine if you're getting enough water during the day. If your urine is yellow, you're probably not getting enough water. If your urine is clearer, with at most a hint of yellow, you're probably drinking enough water. Drinking warm fluids, such as water, is especially helpful for relieving postnasal drip. Blowing the nose can remove irritants, which causes a buildup of mucus. For mucus that cannot be cleared after blowing the nose, some people prefer snorting and spitting the excess mucus from the back of the throat, avoiding bad breath and dry mouth. Over the counter saline kits and nasal sprays are available to rinse the nasal cavity. The saline solution flushes the irritants from the nasal cavity, thins the mucus and relieves the membranes in the nose. Try using a Neti pot to clear out the mucus in the sinus and the back of the throat. Be aware, however, that by using a sinus irrigation device you could be removing natural antimicrobial agents that get rid of enemy bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Apply 2 to 3 saline nasal drops every 2 to 3 hours to help moisten your nasal passages and relieve congestion. Try using Nasya oil 2 times daily as a way to relieve postnasal drip. Oral decongestants narrow the blood vessels to reduce the amount of congestion in the nasal cavity. Decongestants are also available in a nasal spray. If symptoms don't get better after 3 days, discontinue use of decongestants. Use of decongestants after 3 days may be more harmful than helpful because it may lead to rebound congestion. Medications such as guaifenesin (Mucinex) are sold OTC and taken in tablet or syrup form. These help to thin out the mucus and make it easier for it to run out. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for how to take this medications, and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure. The physician can prescribe corticosteroid, antihistamine and anti-drip sprays to relieve postnasal drip. Corticosteroid sprays, such as Flonase and Nasacort, help to treat the swelling and inflammation in your nasal passages that occurs with allergic rhinitis. Antihistamine sprays can effectively treat allergic rhinitis causes of postnasal drip but are not effective for non-allergic causes.
Summary: Drink plenty of fluids to remain hydrated. Blow your nose frequently to remove excess mucus in the nasal cavity. Rinse the nasal cavity to remove mucus causing irritants. Use over-the-counter decongestants to relieve mucus buildup and postnasal drip. Use decongestants for only 3 days in succession. Remove mucus with mucus-thinning medications. Ask your doctor for prescription medications to relieve irritation and mucus buildup.
