Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of post nasal drip and throat dryness which seems to be due to

- Upper respiratory tract infection
- Sinusitis
- Acid reflux
- Nasal and sinus polyps

I would suggest you visit ENT specialist once and get it examined completely as it can cause irritation and infection in throat that is lead to cough reflex and go for certain tests like blood test, throat swab test and respiratory function test. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics (amoxicillin or penicillin) and nasal decongestants.

For now take steam inhalation and do warm saline gargles. Avoid cold carbonated beverages and sharp spicy food.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
