This could be an allergy. The first place I would start is to get an exam of the throat to be sure there isn't something blocking the normal pathway of mucus clearing. If all is ok there, I would visit either a primary or an allergist or a pulmonary doc. Any of these docs could prescribe a decongestant (you could also try this yourself-pseudephedrine should work), a nasal spray such as a steroid like nasocort or a mast cell stabilizer like cromolyn sodium. These will clear up any post nasal drip that you may have that you are not even aware of. I would start with this approach and I think in absence of any disease processes, you will find relief!
