It got better for a few days, and then it started draining again and her mucus was yellowish and sometime had a little blood in it, she says she has had no fever that she is aware of. its just drainage mostly and coughing and she is having to blow her nose a lot.

Hi,
Your daughter might have sinusitis with upper respiratory tract infection or bronchitis with congestion which actually causes this mucus or sputum.
You can do some routine blood tests with sputum examination and chest X- ray to have confirmed diagnosis.
Here you have not mentioned the antibiotics which she is taking.
Anyway,she should be given oral antibiotics (quinolones or macrolides) in full course for about 7 days with bronchodilators (beta agonists, anticholinergics) syrup and nebulizers with steam inhalation to get rid off complete infection from throat or chest.
Consult pulmonologist for treatment.
