What are the recommended medical steps when a persistent severe cold and runny nose do not respond to antihistamines and successive courses of antibiotics, such as azithromycin and amoxicillin/clavulanate?

Since antibiotics like azithromycin and amoxicillin/clavulanate haven't helped, your symptoms might not be bacterial. It could be due to non-allergic inflammation, a viral issue, or structural changes like nasal polyps. I gently recommend consulting an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist. They can perform a detailed exam, possibly using a tiny camera, to see what is causing the blockage. In the meantime, using a gentle saline nasal rinse or a generic corticosteroid nasal spray can help soothe your nasal passages and ease your breathing.
