Persistent post nasal drip indicates increased mucous production. Common causes may be allergy, sinus infection, nasal polyp, rhinitis and deviated nasal septum. Throat irritation may be due regurgitation of stomach contents.
Advice
1.     Levocetirizine 5 mg daily per oral for 5 days
2.     Cefixime 100 mg every 12 hours per oral for 7 days
3.     Ranitidine 150 mg twice daily per oral for 15 days
4.     Ambroxol 30 mg daily per oral for 5 days
5.     Do gargle with slight warm salt water four times daily
6.     Do not eat heavily at a time. Eat smaller meals
