Chronic sinusitis: You may have chronic sinusitis, and may need to see a ear/nose/throat subspecialist to ensure that there might not be polyps or other obstructions making the sinusitis difficult to treat.

Need treatment: It seems to me you still have sinusitis with post nasal drip. You need antibiotics for longer duration. Along with oral steroids for a week. And nasal steroid. Wish you good luck.
