Large amounts of mucus in throat

Hi, im new to this so sorry if I miss any points.
I'm 19 and used to smoke weed with tobacco daily for around 2-3 years (incase thats relevant). In early 2017 I got sick with a cough and the excess mucus started, but after the cough stopped the sinus issues remained. I didnt do anything about it for ages because I was super dysfunctional, and only spoke to a GP about it 6 months ago. I tried nasonex but that didn't really do anything, I've now been prescribed antibiotics which has definitely improved it, but the issue clearly remains. It seems to be most problematic further back in my sinuses, mucus is always coming down my throat and I have to blow my nose frequently. Ive had blood tests and have no allergies, and when I got a CT scan (i think that's what it was) you could clearly see one of my sinuses is much narrower than the other. Im going back to my GP this week for more antibiotics. Suggestions? And thankyou!!

I also should add ive only been taking the abtibiotics semi-regularly, I occasionally forget one of two times a day and also have periods between getting my prescription that I'm not having them

@takemypay Welcome to connect where we try to help with problems that effect us also . I have had sinus, post nasal drip and allergies all my life . Sounds like post nasal drip if it goes down your throat . Me Dr told me to use a decongestant like Sudafed I use this also use a nasal spray or nedi pot in it to wash out your sinuses this helps me . To many antibiotic can cause a lot of gut problems. Wishing you well
