What Causes Over Abundance Of Mucus In Throat And Clogging Of Nose?
I constantly have an over abundance of mucus running down the back of my throat and clogging my nose. I have been on an antibiotic for 10 days for a sinus infection and it has not gone away. I use antihistimines, day quill mucus control, and any other sinus congestion I can get my hands on and nothing seems to work. I have been told that I do not have allergies. Any thought of what this might be?
