Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
The type of symptoms you are mentioning it looks that you have some kind of bacterial infection. The medications which have been prescribed they are good in controlling bacterial infections, but if you still feel that the disease is present then it will be better to get the examination and culture test done of the mucous and then start with the antibiotics.
Hope it will help you.
Regards
