hello,
i can understand your concern.
i would advise a throat swab for culture sensitivity to determine the antibiotic which would be beneficial in your case. since you have mentioned different antibiotics have been prescribed its better we wait for the culture sensitivity report to manage further. a chest xray is also advised. salt water gargles with lukewarm water is advised. steam inhalation would be helpful in treating the painful sinus. kndly follow this and do get back to us with the reports for further management. hope you are satisfied with our response. thanks for choosing HCM
