Hello, Hope you are doing well. Do you smoke or have allergy to dust? Is the discharge yellow or green, blood stained? Do you have fever or any associated complaints such as headache? Have you been taking any antibiotic? Which over the counter medicines have you been taking? You probably had common cold and now you have secondary bacterial infection with low respiratory tract involvement. You could be having allergic rhinitis, mild asthma and bronchitis. There could be some risk factors which need to be investigated. So you need to be examined physically with some blood test carried out. On confirmation of diagnosis you probably need a course of antibiotics. Common cold with secondary bacterial infection CBC, ESR, Hb and Chest x-ray Allergic rhinitis with secondary bacterial infection and bronchitis Common cold with secondary bacterial infection and bronchitis After physical examination and investigations for second opinion
