Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to sinus drainage.
I suggest using mucolite to reduce the amount of mucus.
I also suggest using a throat spray with antibacterial properties.
If the symptoms continue you should consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
