HI,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question.
This could sinus infection. Nasty taste in back throat is due to postnasal drip of sinus secretions. Yellow thick glue like phlegm from nose also indicative of sinus infection.
Nothing to worry, you will be fine.
I recommend the following.
1) A course of antibiotics to treat infection.
2) Steam inhalation to promote sinus ventilation and improve sinus drainage.
3) An antihistaminic with mucolytic ambroxol.

Hope i have answered your question. If you have any further questions, I am happy to help you.

Wish you a speedy recovery.

Regards,

Dr Paparaja S MBBS MS
