Will mucus problem 2 months post-op get better in time?

lilyyamamoto
I had septoplasty and turbinate reduction 2 months ago, and for the last 6 weeks or so, I feel constant phlegm at the back of my left nose (incision made this side during surgery) and above the throat and I cannot clear it. It's always there and it's annoying. It gets worse when I eat or drink. Is this still an adjusting thing from my surgery? If so would this get better in time? Or should I consult the doctor? Thank you so much.
