What Causes Sinus Congestion And Severe Cough Along With Yellow Sputum?

I ve had a bad cough for about a month and a half to where I almost throw up from coughing so much. The cough is productive, with globs of yellow-greenish mucus coming out. Sinus Congestion came a little after the cough started. I went to the doc a couple weeks ago and was prescribe antibiotics for a sinus infection but after taking all of the pills, nothing was better. My mucus has been getting darker and more orange/brown. Today I thought I had a nose bleed but it turned out to be a yellow liquid pouring out of my nose for about 10 minutes. Any idea on what this could be?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to sinusitis which is an inflammation of the sinuses. I recommend to use a decongestant such as Dexometorphan. I also suggest to use a saline nasal spray for local application. I suggest to drink liquids and use a humidifier at home. If the symptoms continue, you should use antibiotics to treat the infection.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
