Has this cold become a bacterial infection?
I got a bad cold a week ago Sunday. It was almost over it when, a few days ago, when my nose started to fill up again. The mucous is yellow and thick and no matter what I try, saline, nose drops, etc. it continues to fill up. I do not have any sinus pressure or pain, YET. Today I feel sicker, mild chills, and I have a mild sore throat.. I have Aumentin which was given to me "just in case." I hate to sign in for 10 days of antibiotics if it's still the same virus. To complicate matters, I am into the second day of a 5 day colon cleanse, and wonder I one would cancel out the other. Also, if it is bacterial, is it contagious?
