General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi, i do care for your concern.
your history suggest more of post nasal drip, that occurs in sinusitis.
This can be cured by taking a full course of broad spectrum antibiotics such as augmentin along with antacid, for the full course.
have lukewarm water for drinking and avoid exposure to dust particles which would help a lot.
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) is more related to smoking, exposure to smoke and industrial dust particles, if you a non smoker then you need not worry much about this.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
