Granular Pharyngitis (Chronic)
I have been having this since 60 days now. Tried all medicines possible for the treatment such as Antibiotics (Aug ) , Antacids (Pan40) , Anti Histamines (Allegra/Allegra M), Becasules , Saltwater Gargle , betadine gargle , Steam Inhalation and Otrivin, also drinking alot of fluids and I used to have Cofsils too.
Im having mild PND throughout the day, and at night sometimes my throat gets lil itchy but it subsides by drinking water.
Also Im a occasional smoker ( 3-4times a week) but i have stopped since 3 months now.
I need a proper treatment plan which will help the granulation to decrease and get things normal.
Also please see if theres a swelling on my uvula or not?
Attaching a picture of my throat and uvula

Appears to that you are having granular pharyngitis secondary to chronic sinusitis as you have continuous postnasal drip
The swelling on uvula can be a cyst due to minor salivary gland obstruction, need to know if it’s painful or not
Needs detailed history and examination
