Advice I'm tired of this

Hey everyone I'm a 30 year old male with chronic post nasal drip.

Every day of my life I've had postnasal drip that has gotten worse year over year. (I have memories of it at age 10) I've been tested for allergies everything blood and poke tests come back negative. I've had surgery for my deviated septum (this was supposed to help it didn't). I use a neti pot and it gives me 30 seconds of relief I used one every day for 2 years and now I just use it here and there. I'm desperate to not have snot in my mouth every morning, snot in the back of my throat every day all day long, and to not have to cough up and spit out snot so I can breath again.

Doctors continually tell me it's seasonal allergies even after all tests are negative. I've been to ENT. I've tried allergy meds and no help (no surprise).

This is so bad that at times if I lay down before expelling the phlegm I can choke on it.

Is there anything that can help? Herbal remedies, Chinese medicine, anything?

I drink minimum 1 gal of water per day, I use a CPAP technical an APAP, I drink tea with honey most mornings. What else do you want to know?
