Cough/congestion for 2 months

2017-07-20 17:23:31
I have had a productive cough, runny/stuffy nose, and headache, for 2 months now. I have to blow my nose all the time and there is a ton of mucus, I think the problem began from strep a few months ago which I took penicillin for and then that transitioned into a cold, and now two months later I am finishing a cefdenir prescr. but am still sick

You might be suffering from acute rhinosinusitis which usually has symptoms of nose block, nose discharge, facial heaviness and headaches. You need to take appropriate treatment in the form of antibiotics, anti cold medicines and decongestant nasal drops for few days to a week. Steam inhalation has additional benefits
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
