Hello doctor. I am sick from december last week. Had severe cough and cold. Entire jan I consulted general physician and got bronchitis related medicine but did not help me 1%also. Feb 2nd week consulted ent. After sinus scan, he told me I have severe sinus and 8areas are impacted. He also took allergy test and advised me allergens to avoid. Medicine and nasal spray helped me 50%only. Then I consulted pulmonologist, he told me I have cough variant asthma. He gave me injunction and medicine which helped me 100%. But he suggested me to stop all sinus medicine including nasal spray. After 15 days of medicine, now slowly i'm getting severe headache and postnasal drip and slightly coughing as well. After medicine I tried to meet the doctor but due to covid he has to close the clinic and working at govt hospital. However, pharmacy guy helped me to person my msg to the Dr. Dr suggested to continue old medicine that is ascovent sr 200 mg and hh levo m plus maxiflo 2puffs twice a day. It's been 5 days I started taking this medicine but these symptoms I still have. So I started sinus medicine as well but I don't see any difference. Now i'm worried if I need to check for cavity or is it due to normal sinus. Can someone help. My Dr. is not available not even on phone.

Hi lybrate-user I would suggest you to continue both sinus as well as pulmo medicines for 2 weeks atleast. Because if you have pan sinusitis, it will take a minimum of 2-4 weeks for post nasal drip to stop with nasal spray. Post nasal drip can also contribute to cough. As for now, start on nasal decongestant drops like otrivin just for 5 days. Please contact for more details thank you.
