What Does Runny Nose, Itchy Throat And Raspy Cough Which Hasn't Improved Despite Cefprozil And Cetirizine?

At the end of last year I got sick. I was finally able to get in to see a doctor on January 3rd and was told I had sinusitis. They gave me 500mg cefprozil 2x daily for 10 days. It did not fix anything. Now I have the runny nose, itch in the back of my ears and throat (randomly not consistently), watery hot eyes (this comes and goes as well), and a raspy harsh cough off and on. I also take cetirizine for allergies. It has been about a month now... and I only seem to be getting worse. Any idea what this is?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this is the allergic condition and this takes little more time to come around with the medicine general care is also important, like drink plenty off water, have steam inhalation, take hot water shower, have a hot drinks, and in medicine, long acting second generation anti histamine would be the rug of choice.
1) Tab. Loratidine one tab three times in day (Better to combine this with pseudoephedrine )
2) Tab. Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in day
I hope this regime will give you better results, take care and have nice day.
I find this answer helpful
