Low IgG: With the picture depicted, you need to be evaluated by allergy / immubology service at a tertiary care hospital, (a university hospital or a teaching hospital), you most probably have an immunodeficiency problem for whatever reason, you might need admission and IV antibiotics to clear the infection and manage the condition from there, goodluck

Consult ENT: An ENT evaluation to find out where the mucus comes from would be the first step. If there is no sinonasal source of mucus, one needs to consider reflux in a condition known as laryngopharyngeal reflux. On the other hand, you need your immune function assessed since chronic sinusitis may be a cause and requires the appropriate treatment.
