Hi,
welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

This could be post nasal drip secondary to sinus infection.

I recommend the following.
1) A course of antibiotics.
2) Antihistaminic like tablet levocetrizine
3) Steam inhalation to promote sinus ventilation and improve sinus drainage.

You will be fine.

Hope i have answered your question. If you you have any questions, I am happy to help you.

Wish you a good health and speedy recovery.

Regards,
Dr.Paparaja S. MBBS, MS
