Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from chronic post nasal drip and it can be due to causes like chronic upper respiratory tract infection, allergies, chronic sinusitis,deviated nasal septum, side effect of certain medication etc..
I would suggest you to consult an Otolayngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations as per suspected cause can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
You can be advise antibiotics for infection..
In case if it is due to allergies anti allergics like Levocetrizine or Benadryl along with voiding exposure to allergen can help..
Taking Mucolytics and steam inhalations can help..
Saline nasal irrigations and using a humidifier in your room can further help..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
