Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Your symptoms, such as the persistent headache, post-nasal drip, and throat discomfort, despite taking antibiotics, could indicate that the infection you're experiencing might not have responded adequately to the antibiotics prescribed. This could be due to the bacteria being resistant to the medication. It's important to consult with your physician for further evaluation and treatment. 

Thanks
