Hi welcome to the health care magic

Here you have positive family history of allergy..

So post nasal drip could be from allergic rhinitis..

Your work up done as follow...
-Posterior pharynx examination
-Rhinoscopy examination
-PNS x ray to rule out sinusistis
-CBC with AEC

If AEC High than Allegra LC like antiallergic medication started

Avoid smoking if having habit

One tsp turmeric powder in hot milk added along with one tsp honey and taken daily for soothing..

Take care

Hope this will help
