Best advice for PF symptom management

As of last November i  started any anti inflammatory supplements like:  garlic extract, cummin, beet extract, and others. As of march of 2022 i started an anti-inflammatory diet and losing weight. I also take vitamins C, E, and A. I have less mucus drainage This week I tried an over counter antihistamine ( no allergy’s) but always clearing my throat.  the antihistamine works great I don’t have to clear my throat or have drainage when i lay down. It’s nt perfect but it has helped a lot.
