Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I carefully read your question and understand your concern.

Your symptoms seem to be relate to a sinus infection and/ or an upper airways infection.

Do you have fever?

I recommend consulting with your doctor for a careful physical exam and some tests:
-a complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate
-sinus X ray study
-chest X ray study
-sinus discharge bacterial culture or throat discharge bacterial culture

You should discuss with your doctor on these possibilities and on the possible treatment options (antibiotics may be needed).

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Greetings!
Dr. Aida
