Hi welcome to the health care magic

You are having post nasal drip problem and excess mucus causing you trouble breathing and subsequent anxiety...

For this consult physician for examination and work up as follow.....
-Auscultation
-nose and pharynx examination for enlarged turbinate and congestion respectively...
-CBC

If Rhinitis present along with enlarged turbinate than nasal drop like oxymetazoline prescribed for three days

For congestion relief benadryl like decongestant drug prescribed

Do salt water gargle three times a day

Take one tsp ginger juice with honey daily for soothing

If eosinophila present in CBC than fexofenedine course prescribed

If needed than you might prescribed diluted betardine gargle...

Take care

Antibiotic started only if no improvement from above management

Hope your concern solved
