Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding post nasal drip which is still persisting even after taking antibiotic augmentin.

Your history of illness clearly reflect to think about sinusitis. You should dothese investigations-

1- C.T.Scan of paranasal sinuses.

2- Culture and sensitivity of throat swab.

3- X-Ray chest.

The inferences of above investigations are to be co-related with clinical findings of examination to finalise the diagnosis that may be accordingly manage.
