I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. I have reviewed your information fully and this is suggestive of a probably material superinfection especially with the yellow and foul smelling nasal discharge. To treat this, antibiotics will be necessary. Unfortunately, this can only be obtained from your treating doctor. Talk to him and get a script for this.
