Hi,

Based on the history you have shared, you may need to switch antibiotics if these were not effective. Using macrolides or quinolones can be helpful. My choice would be azithromycin or moxifloxacin. If the problem persists, a chest X-ray and X-ray PNS may be needed.

Surgical drainage may be required by an otolaryngologist if the problem persists.

Meanwhile, OTC analgesics like acetaminophen or Ibuprofen alongwith antihistamines like cetrizine or loratadine may be helpful for symptomatic relief. Steam inhalation should be ensured.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
