Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history.

From your history, I would think both reflux and post-nasal drip together are causing your symptoms.

Were I treating you, I would suggest you as follows:

1. I would suggest you daily montelukast and levocetirizine for at least 4 weeks.

2. I would also suggest you an antacid like omeprazole or pantoprazole daily before each meal for at least 6-8 weeks.

3. Regular warm saline gargles and steam inhalation will help you a lot to reduce your medicine requirements.

4. Please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.

5. For allergies, I would suggest you allergy testing which will help you to identify and avoid the substances that are causing troubles to you.

Hope above measures will help you.

Wish you a quick recovery and the best of the health.

Should you have any other query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Thank you & Regards.
