What Causes Constant Tickling Sensation In Throat, Productive Cough And Running Nose?

I have a constant tickle in my throat which I then cough and have some phlegm and runny nose all day and all night, this has been going on for two years. I do take some medicine Altace, Coreg, aspirin, though both my doctors say it is not from the medicine as I have been on it for 8 years. Can you think of any other reason this would be occurring?

Persistent throat irritation indicates increased mucous production. Common causes may be allergy, sinus infection, nasal polyp, rhinitis and deviated nasal septum. Throat irritation may be due regurgitation of stomach contents.
Advice
1.     Levocetirizine 5 mg daily per oral for 5 days
2.     Azithromycin 500 mg daily per oral for 5 days
3.     Ranitidine 150 mg twice daily per oral for 15 days
4.     Ambroxol 30 mg daily per oral for 5 days
5.     Do gargle with slight warm salt water four times daily
6.     Do not eat heavily at a time. Eat smaller meals
7.     Do not lie down immediately after meal
