Hi,
If you are allergic or suffer from recurrent infection then due to post nasal discharge also you will suffer from coughing with clear salty sputum. So get checked with ENT doctor once to rule out any sinus or adenoid problem. You can try with antihistamine with montelukast for a week with doctor consultation and control to reflux.
This will help you.
