Suggest Treatment For Post Nasal Drip And Recurrent Cough

Post nasal drip and recurrent cough due to it is allergic
Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to HCM,
Post nasal drip and recurrent cough due to it is allergic.
If it was due to deviated septum, you would be choked up severely.
The cause is coming from stomach. Since it has been going on for 6 months, try to identify what changes you have made in your diet. Most allergies are protein related--peanuts, big legumes, non vegetarian products etc.
Smoking can definitely add on to it. In any case you know it is bad for the respiratory system. Continue to cut it down.
So I would like you to try and identify the food allergen/intolerance. Try avoiding the items mentioned by me. There is a chance it could be other things.
Saline drops are safest.
Try ginger in any form to help digestion and prevent colds.
An anti allergic like Fexofenadine for a few weeks should help (pleasee get the necessary prescription from your doctor).
Feel free to ask further
Regards
