Where does mucus come from? See below for more details?

I have had this stupid sinus infection, seen the doctor, who gave me penicillan,charged me and arm and leg to tell me what I already knew I had , it has been over 8 days & I still have mucus coming out of my nose and throat. I take vitamins daily and eat healthy. I stay away from people who have been sick, and use sanitizer products all the time.( I hate germs or anything else I may pick up from every day use of door knobs , grocery carts, ect...) Why hasn't this medication cleared this up by now? I'm aware of my mucus membranes and their locations, but how much longer can this still go on?

sinus infections are NOT contagious.. it just means your sinuses are infected[ its normal] i get them all the time all you can do it ride it out and don't touch your forehead and cheek bones hard theres sinuses located there, and mucus fills your sinuses so it doesn't come out of your throat it drains down your throat thats why you may experience some stomach aches
