Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to excessive production of the mucus.
I suggest to try using a mucolytic such as Mucinex.
I also suggest using an anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation.
Hope my answer was helpful.

Kind regards!
