Hello! Your problem could be arising secondary to post nasal drip because of sinusitis, leading to throat irritation. You will need a diagnostic nasal endoscopy first followed by a ct scan of paranasal sinuses to evaluate further if needed. Antihistamines and topical steroid nasal spray can be useful.
