Had a cold for a couple of weeks with light to semi green mucus with light stomach ach after eat and some diarrhea, need antibiotic or fluids and rest?

Green phlegm: The cold was virus. Now your phlegm is green which means bacterial infection. You should see your doctor for cbc, cxr, sputum for c;s and possible antibiotic before it becomes full blown pneumonia. You need fluid and rest along with above advice. Thanks.
