I think u have allergic rhinitis..
Beacuse now season has changed and u didn't have fever.
May I know the amount and colour of sputum produce??
Any throat pain or irritation and sticking sensation in throat?
Next Steps
if sputum is yellowish or greenish u should do sputum examination for routine and culture sensitivity.
take 7 days course of augmentin 625mg TDS and tab azee 500mg OD for 5 days.
otherwise just take mucolytics and antiallergic like Mucolite syp and Montek-LC tab for 5 days.
Health Tips
but before you should have routine clinical check up to rule out lower respiratory tract involvement
