Brief Answer:
Mucus

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for your question. The symptoms point to a bacterial infection. I understand your baby completed a 10 day course of antibiotics. However, sometimes a longer course of antibiotics is needed, and sometimes a different antibiotic is needed. If the symptoms have persisted as you say, I recommend consulting with your doctor, and asking if another course of antibiotics or a different antibiotic is warranted.
