Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Post nasal drip, pain in soft palate and cold frozen feeling is appearing due to sinus infection.
First of all get a sinus x ray done to confirm the diagnosis.
If it is confirmed and amoxicillin did not work then Augmentin [amoxicillin +Clavulanate potassium] can be taken.
Other groups of antibiotics like Cephalosporins etc can help..
Along with it take anti inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen.
Use specialised mouthwash like Magic mouthwash to gargles.
Do warm saline gargles.
Take anti histamines like Levocetrizine and decongestant like Phenylephrine..
Do steam inhalation and saline nasal irrigation..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
