What Causes Voice Hoarseness And Throat Congestion While Taking Levofloxacin For Pneumonia?

I had a bacterial pneumonia about six weeks ago. I was prescribed Levofloxacin for five days.My lungs have cleared but now I have a very thick mucus that sticks in the back of my throat. Sometimes it just stays there and I can t clear it. My voice is always going out and I have to clear my throat often.I also developed a fullness in my ears. The pressure comes and goes. I also started not too long ago a high blood pressure medication, Diltiazem, and read that certain high blood pressure medications can cause,post nasal drip. Could this be my problem?
