Thick yellow post nasal drip, why?

@303wendy-
This has happened to many people after sinus surgery.
More than people report or what’s been reported as “failed” sinus surgeries.
For starters you would need to know what your original presenting symptoms were and what the reason for sinus surgery was.
The person whom is assessing you would be best if they were someone whom specializes in revision surgery from other surgeons short comings.
What was original surgery indicated for?
Sinuses can be inflamed but not be blocked, so there would be no benefit to simply widening inflamed sinuses that were not blocked or closed off.
This can actually incite more inflammation in a state of uncontrolled/unaddressed inflammation.
Simply removing walls and doors, so to speak does not address the inflammatory issue.
And have you been assessed by someone other than original surgeon?

Thanks. My surgery was for frequent sinusitis. I’ve seen 3 other ENTs, all of whom say that since my CT is clear, there’s no problem (infection, polyps, deformities, surgery errors).
The last ENT I saw offered me PRP injections in my nose in hopes of getting my sense of smell back, so I’ll be doing that. But my body feels exactly like it does every time I’ve had an infection, I just can’t shake that idea.
