Dry And Itchy Throat. Lumps On Back Of Throat. On Tessalon Pearls And ProAir. Relief Measures?

I have what feels like a "lump" in the back of my throat (where sinuses join) every day. I have had excess phlegm, dry, VERY ITCHY throat (at the back), have been on Tessalon pearls since March of this year for a cough due to itchy throat, was started on ProAir, and when I eat it feels as if food gets hung in the drainage. I cannot get this mess up. Every attempt at getting this up is nonproductive. At times, very small amounts may surface, & the taste is so incredibly bad. I do suffer from GERD but when I burp, it is not a "normal" one. It can be foamy. I have recently gone from smoking 1/2 pk of cigarettes a day to a total of 3-4 per day. I'm looking for ANY relief. I do not use nose sprays, as I "don't put things in my nose".

Your time and advice are greatly appreciated.

Overall health is typical of a 40 year old Caucasian female.
