Have Sinusitis, Coughing Yellow Sputum. On Zenhale. What Is Going On?

HI. Six weeks ago I was dx. with sinusitis even though I had no pain, just some drainage. The doc put me on a rampage of antibiotics as I was also coughing up yellow thick phlegm. Nothing has worked. I'm not in pain but the coughing keeps me up all night and so does the n ose blowing. You think maybe I contacted some alien bug?
What should I say to my doc, the next time I see him [which will be soon because even double dose's of zenhale has not helped.
What is your opinion?.
A little afraid of CA as it runs in my family, no allergies that I know of, and the cough is scaring the hell out of me as the color hasn't changed.
