Hello!
Thank you for your question on HCM! I appreciate your concern.
Based on your symptoms and on the fact that you have been using antibiotics and steroids, I would think about a fungal infection a possible cause of chronic cough and headache.
A fungal infection can also cause sinus infection with chronic headache and the diagnosis is often difficult to establish.
I recommend you to perform a routine blood test, sinus Xray and chest Xray. A sinus discharge culture would also be helpful.
Hope to have been helpful!
