you seem to be suffering from acute rhinosinusitis. it must have started after an attack of viral upper respiratory tract infection. sometimes these infections can be resistant to commonly prescribed antibiotics and there may be need to change antibiotics. you need to take one more course of antibiotics, decongestant anticold tablets and nasal drops for a week. also do steam inhalation two times daily
