Suggest Remedy To Relieve Chronic Cough With Phlegm

I have had a chronic cough with phlegm for over a year now. I barely get any sleep, and I sometimes cough so hard I throw up. I have been on nasonex now for 6 weeks and my cough has actually gotten worse. I have been tested for allergies and have none. My doctor says it's post nasal drip. How else can it be treated?
