What Causes Post Nasal Drip Despite Taking Antibiotics?

After taking a course of Celestamine for Sinusitis, I still experienced nasal drip. My doctor has prescribed another course of 12 tablets (1 three times a day). I become very flushed if I take the daily dose of 3 tablets, and twice when I have bent over I experience a runny nose of clear yellow fluid.??
