Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done chest x ray to rule out lower respiratory tract infection ( LRTI ).
LRTI is very common after upper Respiratory tract infection ( URTI ) especially sinusitis.
Since you have taken 2 courses of antibiotics but not improving, possibility of resistant infection is more.
So get done chest x ray and sputum culture and sensitivity to guide antibiotic therapy.
You may require longer treatment.
