I have a sinus infection with post-nasal drip; I cough frequently. I saw the doctor and he put me on antibiotics on Wednesday. This is Sunday. I am still coughing frequently, which hurts in my chest and sometimes I cough (can t quit coughing) to the point of throwing up everything I have had to eat or drink within the past few hours.
