Headache with watery nasal discharge
I am experiencing severe headaches along with sleep disturbances, and I notice a watery discharge from my nose especially when I bend forward. I can also feel water when I bend, and it is painful. I have ongoing sinus issues, and these symptoms are frequent and affecting my daily routine and sleep quality. I would like guidance on the possible cause of these symptoms and the appropriate treatment or tests needed.

Where can I find ?
After oral sex, a throat swab (pharyngeal swab) is the most critical test, as it specifically detects infections in the throat that urine and blood tests often miss.
Doctors , what do you think about the above text?
Also can you suggest how can I undergo an oral STI test since most of them take blood/urine as the sample. Pls guide urgently 🙏🙏

Frequent headaches
I am having sinus issues and headache very often. Almost everyday. Started taking antihistamines everyday and was able to manage the issue and no headache. If I stop antihistamin even for one day I fall sick with heavy head and headache.can't identify the reason for this. Is this any type of allergy. How can I manage without antihistamine

For how long can we wait?
I have zero symptoms but since I was involved in unprotected oral and vaginal sex recently, i am just worried about an STI.
But I have certain reasons why I can't get tested right now.
Can I wait till November to get tested?

Why no throat swabs
I see most clinics near me just provide blood or urine sample for STD testing
How will they detect an STI in the throat due to oral sex?

Pharyngitis
I have severe dry cough since 7 days. I went to ENT and she told me to take Augmentin 500mg (3 tablets a day) for 5 days and now the dose is over. My cough is still there. It has reduced little only. Also, i am coughing continously for 4 hours every night.
So should I continue the tablet again? I have taken 15 tablets already. I am 25 years old body weight is 56.

Recurring sore throat
Hi doctor, on 28th Feb, i consumed alcohol, and also had unprotected oral and vaginal sex.
2-3 days after , i developed intense sore throat
And i was having lot of pain while swallowing, with white patches ( first picture attached) but NO common cold symptoms.
I went to the doctor, gave me antibiotic, allergy and i got healed.
Within a week the same throat pain and symptoms came back with white patches.
I again went to the doctor, this time he gave me Moxykind cv 625 plus allergy.
I again got better, pain went away , my patches reduced ( see 2nd picture). But after 4 days of taking moxykind, i started having a scratchy, slightly burning feeling in my lower throat near the collar bone area. And today, my throat is hurting again but there are only very less white patches ( see 2nd picture)
I am worried could it be an Oral STI?? Like gonnorhea or chylamadiya
If yes. What tests should I get done to confirm?

Stagnant mucus and bad breath
I have persistent bad breath issue for a long time. I can breathe without any issues and no sinus issues. The only problem I have is thick sticky mucus being dripping down into my nasopharynx and I hawk and spit it out, which gives a bad taste and smell when I do that. But the mucus itself doesn't have any smell. A few days back I added xylitol into my sinus rinse and the second day I blowed out green mucus from only my left nose, while my right nose has clear mucus. And I could feel a slight pressure on my left sinus as well while the green mucus was draining. After the green mucus came out the sticky thick mucus feeling improved a bit. What's happening to me because I don't have any other sinus issues ? Is the bad breath because of that green mucus stuck deep ?
