Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

If these symptoms are acute (just started), then it is likely that they maybe related viral illness such as the common cold or the flu.

In this case, you may need a mucolytic (medication to break up the mucus). Examples are mucomyst, bisolvan, robotussin.
In addition resting your voice, an oral anti histamine and pain medication such as paracetamol may be helpful.

If you experience them long term then they may be related to allergic rhinosinusitis (inflammation of the nasal passages and sinuses). In this case you may need a topical steroid nasal spray as well.

I hope this helps
