Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I am sorry to hear about what you are going through. If you have completed your course of antibiotics, you should be clear of the Pseudomonas infection. For the sore throat and mucus, you should try salt water gargling and steam inhalation 2-3 times a day. Additionally, you could take an antihistaminic like Levocetirizine for a few days. In the meantime, you should fix up an appointment with your ENT doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
