Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
It appears you are have sinusitis with post nasal drip.
If you were my patient, I would suggest:
1. Steam inhalation thrice daily for 4-5 minutes to lyse mucus and liquefy it. Reduces blockage and improves symptoms.
2. Salt water gargling at least 6-8 times daily.
3. Anti histamine like cetrizine twice daily.
4. Decongestants to breathe easily.
5. As it is present since two weeks, I would suggest start of antibiotics like Amoxicyllin with clavulonic acid or Azithromycin. Need to complete the dose.
6. If headache or body pain present, paracetamol should help.
7. Coughing could cause breathlessness and chest pain. Saltwater gargling and throat soothening lozenges should reduce it.
For antibiotics, you need to take prescription from your doctor.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
