Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain yellowish watery nasal discharge can be due to either viral infection which can even cause mild fever but in case if it is a frequent recurring episode it can be due to sinus infection..
You need not to take i.v antibiotics as of now and can simply continue taking oral antibiotics and along with it you can also take decongestant nasal drops, saline nasal irrigation and steam inhalations..
For fever you can also take Tylenol..
For gum infection along with antibiotics you can apply gum paint over gums, gargle with antimicrobial mouthwash and take vitamic C candies..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
