Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your complain drainage down the throat also known as
Post nasal drip can occur due to causes like
Sinusitis, Upper Respiratory Track infection,
acid reflux, allergies etc..
Cough is due to post nasal drip and irritation in throat..
I would suggest you to consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
In case of infection you can be advised to take a course of antibiotics, ant-inflammatory painkiller, decongestants oral as well as
nasal spray, anti allergics and mucolytics..
As of now you can take anti allergics like Levocetrizine, Mucolytics like Ambroxol..
If it is due to acid reflux antacids and
proton pump inhibitors like Omeprzole and diet modifications can be advised..
In case of allergies anti allergics and preventing exposure to allergen can be advised..
Do warm saline gargles and steam inhalations..
Limit exposure to dust and also avoid chilled foods..
Sip on warm water..
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Honey Arora..
