Hello,
While I think it's important to not overprescribe antibiotics, if this has been going on for a month, it's time to go in to see a doctor in person and likely you will be (appropriately in this case), prescribed an antibiotic because of the duration of the infection, which increases the likelihood that it is bacterial at this point.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
