You could be having an inflammation at the back of your nose, quite possibly due to an allergy or a mild infection.
You should try taking herbal tea for a few days, to see if gets better. It ususally does.

I agree with the person below me in that I am not a doctor and I don't know all of your symptoms.
However, I do have really bad allergies, and I know certain times of the year and even randomly my allergies get so bad they make me cough up mucus, and I even lose my voice sometimes. So yes, allergies could definitely be the cause. I take claritin-d (or just a generic-it's cheaper and the exact same thing) which you can get over the counter. If the mucus is an opaque yellowish green color, that means you have an infection. You will need to see a doctor to get some antibiotics to clear that up if it has been 3 weeks already. Also, the doctor can prescribe prescription meds for allergies that may work better for you. I also got some nasacort which is a nasal spray that really seemed to help me.
If you're really desperate, I've heard that a neti pot works wonders. Honestly I've never tried one because the very idea freaks me out/disgusts me but lots of doctors recommend it.

We're not doctors and nor do we suggest anything that could be misconstrued as a likely diagnosis. What you're telling us about doesn't seem normal. You shouldn't be spitting anything up and for that long untreated.
Why have you waited 3 weeks to act?
You need to see a doctor as soon as possible and find out what the score is. Nobody else is going to be able to help you otherwise. You shouldn't be spitting up anything for that long. It needs intervention and promptly.
