I had all that you describe only mine took place from mid Feb through middle of April. Two rounds of antibiotics, but refused to take the steroids. Same as you, was here last year same time and no real problems other than my normal allergic reactions. Saw 2 doctors and as a last ditch effort, saw an ear nose and throat doctor. The ENT gave me a sample of Patanase which is a nasal spray to help with my post nasal drip and resulting cough. I took along with my daily dose of Zyertec and Advil cold and sinus (behind the counter version). The Patanase worked pretty well. Finally the middle of May, I was feeling like my old self. They say the spring pollen counts were off the charts and I can believe it! Since I have been an allergy suffer all my life, I knew this past spring was far worse than I have ever experienced in many years. Since this year was our second year here in FL I was at one point beginning to feel we had made a huge mistake in moving here because of how bad I felt. But it passed and I am happy again. If this ever happens to me again, I will be going to an allergist for sure. Good luck and hope you feel better real soon. Hope this helps you. JC
