You seem to be having post nasal discharge. Chronic rhinosinusitis and reflux laryngopharyngitis are the most common causes for post nasal discharge. Diagnostic nasal endoscopy and CT scan of paranasal sinuses will confirm chronic rhinosinusitis. Once confirmed appropriate treatment can be planned
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
