I would have your doctor order you a CT of your sinuses you might have a chronic sinuses infection that isnt clearing with antibiotic treatment.  You also might be developing some allergies which will cause the nasal drainage etc.  Hope this helps

Im sorry to hear you are so sick! I have never had a cold last that long. I would be seen if I had the pressure because it could be a sinus infection, and those can become dangerous if it just festers.Get better soon!

I'm thinking that your cold has developed into a sinus infection which can be very dangerous if not treated , My advice would be to seek medical attention as soon as possible so you can get an antibiotic started .
