Hi
Welcome to XXXXXXX

It seems that you have suffered from allergic rhinitis which have been complicated to sinusitis. Now your symptoms are due to its severity. I would suggest you to have a throat swab and send it for culture and sensitivity and wait for the reports. for breathing problems sulbutamol nebulisation is suggested. Antihistamine is very much effective for congestion. The best choice antibiotic is clarithromycin or azithromycin but avoid self administration and discuss it with your doctor for prescription or wait for the throat swab culture and sensitivity report.

If you still have some query, feel free to ask
Thanks
