Still viral, or bacterial Sinus/Cold problem? :)?

I had a bad virus for 2 months in January, then about a month after that I got my first ever sinus infection, and had to have 2 seperate 1 week courses of Anti-biotics to clear it up. (Think I got run down from very poor diet and no exercise etc....)

I was loads better for about 2 weeks, started getting stressed alot again and diet was crap, so I started feeling off and 'run down'.

I noticed a few mild headaches and pains coming on, and also my post-nasal drip was coming back, but thin and clear. I was getting nauseous and lost my appetite, also feeling a bit flushed and warm, and generally felt unwell and achey and tired.

I went to the doctors. He said my nose in 1 side was a bit swollen, and my left ear was a bit swollen inside and my temperature there (via ear was 37.7 C) my mucus was running a bit green. He wasn't worried that it was a bacterial infection yet, and didn't want to put me on loads of antibiotics again for nothing.

It's been about 5 days now, mucus is occasionally slightly yellow, but thin, 98% of the time its clear. Few headpains, feel a bit tired and achey sometimes, not much appetite, and my temperature (underarm reads between 36.3 - 36.5 degrees) But I am now improving my diet and exercise, and feel much better for it now.

Does anyone think this is still viral? If so how long before I feel better. And does anyone think it could be now bacterial?



Thanks!

The only way to know for sure is to have your doctor do a culture. If your not spiking a temp it's probably not bacterial. Yet
