Ive had a runny nose, congestion, sore throat, clogged ears, and a cough for 4 days. all symptoms except cough and congestion have subsided. but i cough up green phlegm now. i had covid last month, is this just a common cold or what?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The illness may be due to prolonged COVID 19 infection, or a bacterial secondary infection such as strep pneumococcus. A course of antibiotics is indicated for sinusitis, if not resolving or if worsening. Watch for facial swelling, fever and shortness of breath. Retest for COVID 19 using an antigen test.
