Hi, I'm sorry to read about your troubles! There is no indication that guaifenesin, ivy syrup, or Gelomyrtol are effective for this, especially in combination. I don't recommend it, but if you wish you can try it. I am more inclined to suggest nasal hygiene with saline solution such as Hydrasense or Sinus Rinse. Often, secretions come from the sinuses and flow down the back of the throat, causing the symptoms you describe. Nasal hygiene is a little uncomfortable but works great I also encourage you to drink lots of fluids, cold or hot depending on your preference, it is more effective than syrups. I wish you a speedy recovery and invite you to contact me if you have any further questions Tom Samaha, pharmacist
