How do I get rid of post-nasal drip?

How to get rid of a post nasil drip sore throat?

• I have "post nasal drip" due to allergens from pollen. I have never had this issue before and my sore throat is almost unbearable. I have tried every home remedy and over the counter drug imaginable and nothing works. Ive gargle salt water and it has zero effect. Ive also eaten blueberrys, gargle apple cider vinegar (and swallowed) as well as water with ceyenne. Tea with honey barely does anything except i have noticed the warm liquids are a little better than cold. soup is somewhat releaving but i cant make it actually go away. Ive tried nasal decongestants as well as antihistimines. Ive done water irrigation of my sinuses with salt and baking soda and it helps clear things out but the sore throat persists. Im getting desprate and need some advice. I havent been to the doctor because i dont see why pay money for them to tell me to do all the same things. anyone know how to get rid of a sore throat due to post nasil drip? the soreness seems to be up higher and in the back than actually down low in the throat. It feels like it is higher than my tongue, but waaaay in the back.
