Throat Dryness entirely Night

For the last 1 month, I have recurrent throat dryness and irritation with an urge to cough or clear my throat. Coughing gives temporary relief, but the irritation returns. During daytime it happens around 10–12 times, but at night after lying down it becomes much worse, sometimes every 5–10 minutes, making it difficult to sleep. I have allergic rhinitis and regularly stay in an AC room (26°C) with a fan. My AC has not been serviced for a long time. I have also used Foracort 200 inhaler. Could this be due to post-nasal drip/allergy, sinusitis, silent acid reflux/LPR, asthma, or dust/mold from the AC? What tests may be needed to identify the root cause, and what treatment/medicine would be appropriate?
