Question

Asked for Female, 21 Years

I had a bad sinus infection and was prescribed Mucinex and antibiotics which I finished all of about a week ago and I am still coughing up a lot of mucus and am very congested and blowing my nose all the time. Should I go back to the doctor for stronger medicine?
