HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Post nasal Chat Doctor. The became is one of the appropriate treatments for this. You may want to add an anti histamine to this. They are usually available over the counter. Bronchitis may also be contributing to your coughing. It would cause chest tightness and coughing. You may temporarily need a bronchodilator (medication to open the airways such as Ventolin) and a bucolic (medication to help break up the mucus, so it can be easily expelled). I hope this helps
