Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I see the photo you attached on reports with the medications you are currently taking and they are the right treatment for you.
You are taking an antibiotic to fight bacterial infection and a corticosteroid to reduce inflammation. This treatment may last up to two weeks.
It would be advisable to take decongestants such pseudoephedrine and antihistamines such benadryl or citerizine to reduce congestion.
Also antinflamatory drugs such advil or acetaminophen, Tylenol, can help reduce inflammation and also will help you with pain and fever.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
