You need to gargle with warm salt water. Especially with allergies the roof of the mouth will get itchy or your throat. Your throat, is the last to heal and probably "raw" from drainage and coughing.
A tsp. of salt and 8 oz. glass of warm (not hot) water will sooth like you won't believe. Simple remedy, and it works. At least 2X a day. Let the salted water sit in back of throat by tilting head backwards a bit. You'll be sleeping great! Soups, are another good thing to have to keep diet light and again, salty broth.
Take an antihistamine to relieve the post-nasal drip and any allergic reaction you may be having. Also, try not to sleep on your back. Feel better.
Also sleep with your head elevated maybe use 2 pillows so there won't be so much drainage to macke it itch and I agree with the rest of them here.===
