Brief Answer:
Follow as advised.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
I appreciate your point wise answers.
In such scenario I advice following:
1. To start antibiotic like Azithromycin along with anti allergic drugs like levocetrizine. These are prescription only medications which can be prescribed by your local doctor.
2. To do warm saline gargles 3-4 times a day.

This would certainly help you.
If you have any further query please ask me else close the discussion and rate it.
Stay Healthy.
