HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
An ENT doctor would be a better option that the pulmonologist. An ENT doctor deals with any diseases of the ear,nose and throat and this would include the sinuses.
Your doctor may consider allergy testing to determine the source of your allergic response.
If it can be identified and your exposure reduced or eliminated , then your post nasal drip may be reduced as well.
I hope this helps
