Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.

As per your clinical history it appears that you are having allergic Rhinitis with postnasal discharge with acid reflux.

If I were your treating doctor, I would advice you

Saline nasal spray & Steam Inhalation twice daily,
Plenty of fluids ,
Antihistaminic levocetirizine + Montelukast combination ,
Esomeprazole 40 mg for acid reflux which is better for acid reflux .

You will need to see your doctor to get a prescription.


Hope this information helpful to you .If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
