hi,
i gone through your question and understand your concerns.
you have got acute upper respiratory tract infection. viral in nature with super imposed bacterial infection.
i such patient comes to my clinic with red watery eyes,runny nose,enlaged lymph nodes,sore throat and post nasal drip i would suggest him/her an empirical course of antibiotics(for bacterial as viral infection subside by it self in aweek) like penicillin group if he/she is not allergic to them along with anti allergic+decongestant and paracetamol for a week.
you should consult your general physician as these are prescription medicine. you will feel better in a couple of days.
