Flu or Nasal Discharge or blocked nose

Flu;Nasal discharge; Runny nose; Postnasal drip; Rhinorrhea (all are same disease but different name) :

I've been having blocked nose (which makes me difficult to breath especially at night when sleeping) for two days and although I thought I might get better by drinking a lot of water and eat more fruits with Vit C (as advised by many fellow friends)but it never helped much as I continue to be in this condition today (which is the 3rd day), I know I must do something about it before it get worse, therefore I went to see a doctor and she prescribed me with ezede loratadine( white small tablet) for the day and chloramine (yellow, small round tablet) for night (which will make you drowsy and sleep easily). Was quite surprised cause previously when I was down with the same sickness few months back, I was given different medicine prescribed by different doctor of course, and was given this medicine called Polarax(pink small tablet), but it is not so effective (I think I recovered faster after going out for a jog-instead of taking that pill). Which i am now very curious, how many other types of medicine out there that can be prescribed for the same sickness and which one work better? Done some research as below:

Nasal discharge is any mucous-like material that comes out of the nose.Nasal discharge is common, but rarely serious. Drainage from swollen or infected sinuses may be thick or discolored.

Excess mucous may run down the back of your throat (postnasal drip) or cause a cough that is usually worse at night. A sore throat may also result from too much mucous drainage.

The mucous drainage may plug up the eustachian tube between the nose and the ear, causing an ear infectionear infection and pain.

For home care, keep the mucous thin rather than thick and sticky. This helps prevent complications, such as ear and sinus infections, and plugging of your nasal passages. To thin the mucous:

•Drink extra fluids.
•Increase the humidity in the air with a vaporizer or humidifier.
•Use saline nasal sprays.

OVERUSE OF ANTIBIOTICS

Many people think that a green or yellow nasal discharge means a bacterial infection, which requires antibiotics. This is NOT true. Colds will often begin with a clear nasal discharge, but after several days it usually turns creamy yellow or green. Colds are caused by viruses, and antibiotics will not help. A green or yellow nasal discharge is not a sign that you need antibiotics.

Well, don't plan to eat the antibiotics given (cause there is no name for this medicine,just a packet with white long pills inside),so I will ony take the enzene and I will blog again to tell you all- does this medicine helps or shall I just stick to own self healing (exercise, drink more water, pray and hope that this sickness will heal by itself without me taking any pills) haha... only time can tell...
