Every time I go to the doctor, I get prescribed antibiotics which don't help. It comes right back soon after or doesn't go away in the first place. Or I get prescribed mucinex, which makes me irritable, unable to sleep properly, and have horrific nightmares or allegra, which gives me hives. I have tried everything possible over the counter, but nothing works. My left ear is stopped up too now as well. I have used the neti pots and sinus rinses too.
