Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from chronic upper respiratory tract infection, and the symptoms of sore throat, nasal congestion and runny nose are all due to it..

As it is a viral infection it will not resolve with antibiotics like that you are taking that is Azithromycin, Amoxicillin or Mox and Ofloxacin as the antibiotics acts against bacteria and not viruses..

The infection will however resolve once the virus will complete its cycle in human body..
As of now you can start with supportive treatment to relieve the symptoms like:
1. Gargle with a warm saline solution that is by mixing 1 teaspoon salt in a glass of water and warm it to make a luke warm solution..
2. Take a combination of decongestant like Phenylephrine, mucolytic like Ambroxol and anti allergic levocetrizine and another combination of Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen..
3. Do steam inhalations and use a cool mist vapourizer in your room..
4. Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
5. Sip on warm water throughout the day..
6. Suck throat lozenges..

Hopefully the symptoms will resolve within a week and if it worsen consult a General Physician or ENT and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
