What Causes Excess Amount Of Sinus Drainage And Cough?
I have excessive amounts of sinus drainage.I had a septoplasty operation 2 years ago and my problem is worse than before the operation.I have a constant cough and heavy amounts of yellowed mucus from my sinuses.I go through nearly a box of tissues everyday.In the morning I cough and spit large amounts of it.I had allergy tests and haven't any allergies.Can you suggest something?Is it something I have to live with?
