Severe Headache, Dripping Nose, Spitting Phlegm. Taken Sudafed. Reason?

I HAD BEEN SUFFERING FROM SEVERE HEADACHES FOR 2 OR 3 DAYS IN A ROW; FELT I WAS SUFFERING FROM A SINUS INFECTION. I TOOK SUDAFED 1 EVERY 12 HOURS. TOOK ALTOGETHER ABOUT 4 THEN STOPPED BECAUSE THE HEADACHES WERE GONE, AND MY NOSE STARTED DRIPPING. SINCE THEN I HAVE SPITTED UP JUNK OF PHLEGM AND LOST MY VOICE, HAD A FEW SWEATS, AND FELT LIKE MY THROAT WAS TOO IRRITATED FROM STRAINING TO TALK AND ALSO A DRY COUGH. I WAS SITTING MY 1 YR 7 MO OLD SON; AND MY DGTR FEARED I HAVE STREP THROAT. I AM ABLE TO TALK A LITTLE NOW BUT KEEP SPITTING UP PHLEGM AND MY THOAT BURNS AND I COUGH. WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE I AM SUFFERING FROM? SHOULD I HAVE KEPT ON TAKING THE 12 PILL PKG OF SUDAFED. IT APPEARS MY HEADACHES WANT TO RETURN?

hello dear
thanks for your query at HCM
these symptoms can be due to pharyngitis or sinus infection
1 take tab paracetamol 650 mg thrice daily
2 tab amoxicillin and clavuronic acid 625 mg twice daily

these will improve your condition'
if not controlled get examined by ENT specialist and get throat swab for culture and sensitivity.
