I have the same thing! Does yours get worse when you eat or drink? I have GERD and switched medicines. Just saw an ENT today. Was on a course of antibiotics a few weeks ago because the other ENT said it was probably sinusitis. It seemed to go away when I went to a warm area for a week but as soon as I returned home to the fall weather, it's back. I've tried Flonase, inhaler, mucinex, saline spray, allergy medicine, and reflux medicine and nothing is helping much. The ENT wants to wait a month and do a barium swallow if it doesn't go away. I have heard similar people in this area having viral flu, cough/post nasal drip without fever, and viral bronchitis for weeks and hoping that's all it is!
