Hello this is DR ARPAN ,
Your history of persistent itchy throat, sneezing, coughing and post nasal drip with clear fluid and no fever suggests the diagnosis of allergic rhinitis and pharyngitis.
I will suggest you to do gargles with lukewarm salted water early in the morning before breakfast and steam inhalation on the appearence of symptoms.
Along with this i will prescribe you tab. Monte-L (montelukast-10mg + levocitrizine-5mg) one o.d.(one tab in the morning after breakfast at least for 2 weeks.

Hi chocolatebrown ! Take anti allergy like cetrizine, if nose feel block take otrivin nasal drop. If too much respiratory distress take solbutamol tab. And for oral infection take amoxicilline tab. It think these medicine helps you. Take care. Bye.
