Hello and welcome to health care magic,
You must realize that over the counter medications will not help you much. In any case since you have no relief of the symptoms for over a month now then you must definitely get an ENT consult as soon as possible.
It could be even a reflux which has to be treated under a proper guidance
get well soon
regards
