I have had a cough now for four weeks. It started out feeling like a mild sore throat and cold, but developed into a cough and a red throat. The doctor thinks that it was a viral infection and then the throat was infected by bacteria, but I am on my second round of antibiotics (along with steroids and antihistamine) and coughing just as much as ever.

I had a prolonged cough last year too, I have also had bronchitis and mononucleosis in my past. Any idea what it could be?

If you have a deviated septum is it just 1 of your nostrils thats always blocked off?

or can it switch.. like your left nostril is blocked off then it switches to your right nostril?

Do you absolutely need to be checked out by a doctor, or is there medicine you can just take?

Long story short, i had bronchitis, went to the doctors last week Thursday, got antibiotics, was better, and was able to breathe. Tuesday was the last day for the meds. Wednesday night I started getting pain in my right Maxillary sinus. The pain was worse on Thursday. Friday I woke up thinking that maybe one of my teeth was shot because I wanted to cry, it hurt that bad. Heck, I wanted to pull out all my upper right teeth to get some sort of relief. Got a dental XRAY and it was my sinus giving me problems. Got to the doctor, got a different antibiotic for two weeks, and a decongestant. I had a hard time sleeping due to the pain last night.

My question is this: how long did it take you to get over a sinus infection? I still have pain today but not nearly as bad as it was yesterday before I started this new antibiotic.

Extra notation: I do not smoke. :)

once you r innoculated for diptheria, BCG etc in childhood , i understand that you do not get infected for TB. An infection most likely could be something else like Bronchitis etc. Am i right?

I gargled water today after brushing my teeth, and when I spitted it out, I noticed blood with the water I just spitted. I thought it was gum problem, but it wasn't. I spitted again and found blood on my sink once again. I did this thing, where you usually do to spit phlegm out (even if I didn't have any phlegm stuck in my throat that time) your mouth, and I saw blood again (but not as plenty as the first time I spitted). I had a cold yesterday and when I woke up today with a very soar throat. When I was a kid, my mom made me drink 2 types of medicine for 6 months because my brother had tuberculosis, although I'm not sure if I cought it too. I'm kinda scared to tell my mom this. What should I do? :|

I have already tried: Astelin and Mucinex and they didn't work at all. I don't have any other allergy symptoms.
