Suggest Treatment For Pain In Nostril And Cold

Hello, Went to a doctor 2 weeks ago for what I thought was an upper respiratory cold. Felt it in the chest, sinuses and throat with a constant cold. Throat was really bad, my tonsils were disgusting. The dr gave me amoxicillin that didn t help. I went back to the dr and they gave me prednisone for 3 days. Still no help. Now, 2 days after i went back to the dr for the second time, I have sever pain in my left nostril, at the base of my septum. So painful if i move the septum i feel it in my teeth. IB Profin helps. I went to an ENT dr and he said I might have a staph infection, he gave me an antibiotic cream to apply to the inside of the nostrils and an antibiotic pill called sulfamethoxazole. He also stated that it could be the onset of MRSA. Could this be true? He also got a culture by swabbing my nose, have not heard back from that yet. I kno i have exposed myself to mold, which i am highly allergic to. Tried my best to shield my self from it... Green mucusy mold, White fuzy mold, and red/tan flaky mold... Is there anything else I can do?
