Hi 2 Days Ago I Finished Z-pack For My Strep

hi
2 days ago I finished Z-pack for my strep throat (this antibiotic always used to work fine for me even if I am pretty often have the strep throat :( ) Also I just finished steroids Methylprednisone tablets USP 4 mg. When I saw the doctor she told me I have problem with my uppr resp. system, very clogged sinus and the throat but no caugh at all. So how I mentioned I finished the mes. It was important to me becouse I am a singer and I have a few important shows I have to breath well and have good voice with no pain. but after this time the antybiotic did not help me completely and from tomorrow I feel again worse (especially after taking a flight from NJ to WI) My nose clogged again and the throat. So today I got another antibiotic Sulfamethoxazole-trime for 10 days. Is this antybiotic treats also strep throat? Because the pharmacist said to me that it is not really ezactly for throat. Could you explain please? And also I got another pack for 6 days of the same steroids which I mentioned previously. Shouldn't I have any side offects after taking them for 12 days? I will appreciate your answer. Thank You Karina P.
