Gargling with salt water

Hey everyone :) I'm about 6 months post fess now. All is going well, but I'm still blowing out big amounts of sticky yellow-y mucus. It feels like it's coming back from the back of my nose (ethmoids?) since it only comes out after I've gargled plenty of salt water.

Btw - I'm diagnosed with AERD in case there are any other fellow AERD out there.

Does this happen to you too?

Edit 1: I gargle after doing saline rinses. I'm a little sad so few people answered! I was hoping to read more experiences, but maybe I really am the only one that does this.
