Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of tickly cough while on Nasacort for post nasal drip.There could be many causes for your condition like cold, nasal polyp,respiratory tract infection, deviation of nasal septum and weak immune system due various diseases. You should consult doctor so that he can diagnose you properly to find out exact cause , he can review symptoms and take physical examination. Treatment depends upon the cause. If it is is due to bacterial infection then doctor can prescribe antibiotics along with antihistamines and decongestants which relieves the symptoms like post nasal drip. Antihistamines(benadryl) are also effective if the causative factor is allergy. If mucus is thick you can also use mucolytic agent like ambroxol to make mucus thin which can be easily removed . Apart from this you should take steam twice a day which will give relief from congestion , also do warm saline gargles .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
