HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Persistent mucus may be related to allergies. Allergic rhinitis (of the nasal passages), allergic sinusitis (of the sinuses) can cause increased mucus production.
You may want to continue the use of any oral antihistamine and topical steriod nasal spray to see if this helps. It may take 2 to 3 weeks for an effect in some cases.
The use of a mucolytic may also be helpful. This is medication to help break up the mucus.
I hope this helps
