me and several of my roomates have itchy throat, slightly runny nose with yellow mucus and just small headaches every now and than. I wake up after sleeping all night feeling tired. at first we thought we were coming down with something because most of us got it but the symptoms have remained about the same for a week now. it has also been more rainy than usual.

Hello,
thanks for using health care magic

From the info you ha e given, it is probable that you both
had a common cold that became super-infected with bacterial
infection and is producing the yellow discharge and prolonged
symptoms.

You need to be wear warm dresses and take in much fluids
an some antibiotics say bactrim or amoxicillin, pain killers
and some cold caps will be of help to you both but your doctor
should prescribed them.
woould be of help

Hope this helps
