The nasal passages are supposed to create some moisture, but when there is drainage that doesn't actually drain, it will become dry. You can help prevent this by using a nasal saline spray or a neti pot. A neti pot is shaped similar to an Aladdin's lamp, with a spout that fits inside the nasal passage. You simply fill it with warm salt water, then with your head bent over and tilted to the side over the sink, you first flush one side, then do the other side the same way. This flushes allerges, etc. from the nasal passages, as well as excess mucous (more detailed instructions come with the neti pot). It also helps keep the nasal passages moist, which doctors recommend. But a bottle of nasal saline spray works well too, and can be taken with you and used anywhere. And both can be used as often as you need.
