HI
Thank for asking to HCM
You completed the antibiotic course, and the symptoms comes back again, here you did not say any thing about smoking whether you still having it or not, if it is still there then you have to stop it first, then start another course of antibiotic with Levofloxacine 600gm twice a day for seven days, even if it does not subsided then it may need investigation, but I am sure it will come around have nice day(Steam inhalation clears the nasal blocks)
