I am a 26-year-old male experiencing persistent morning symptoms that I would like evaluated.
My main concerns are:
• Waking up with significant mucus in the throat
• Frequent need to clear my throat in the morning
• Nasal congestion, especially on waking
• No typical acid burning sensation
• Symptoms are worse in the morning and improve slightly during the day
I have a history of sinus allergies. I also suspect possible silent reflux (LPR), as symptoms seem worse after sleeping, but I do not experience classic heartburn.
There is no fever, no severe facial pain, and no foul-smelling nasal discharge.
I would like guidance on:
Whether this is allergic rhinitis, post-nasal drip, or silent reflux (LPR)
Whether I need any investigations (ENT exam, allergy testing, endoscopy, etc.)
Appropriate treatment (antihistamines, nasal spray, acid suppression therapy, or others)
Whether antibiotics are necessary (currently no signs of acute infection)
Additionally, I have noticed some facial dullness

Only after physical examination we will be able to come to a diagnosis
And only then we can decide treatment based on provisional diagnosis and the confirmatory tests that might be needed
