Always a good: Idea to go see your PCP when taking so many medications with persistence of symptoms. Your PCp may determine that you need antibiotics

Nose: Probably viral but with the green phlegm, there is probably a bacterial component. With your history of asthma, best to see your primary and decide if you need to be on antibiotics

Sinus infection?: Sinus Allergy and Asthma People suffering from sinus allergy and and asthma do occasionally develop bloody nasal discharge. This could result from excessive dryness caused by the antihistamines and decongestants. A chance of bacterial or viral infection cannot be ruled out. If the symptoms continue or if you develop fever, a visit with your doctor may be warranted. Powlin Manuel Md, MBA, MS.
