What Causes Sore Throat,headaches And Red And Yellow Mucus?

I got sick on monday, just sore throat and really heavy head, with a terrible headache. The headache is getting better and I don't have congestion in my head too much, I can still breath out of my nose. But I just sneezed and red and yellow mucus came out, and I have been coughing up yellow mucus today. What does this mean?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The history and symptoms are suggesting me that you are having upper respiratory tract infection. This infection is may be due to viral or bacterial infection.

The symptoms are in favor of bacterial infection, which is leading to yellow mucus from the respiratory tract.

For the symptoms I would suggest you to follow
1.Steam inhalation with Vapocaps.
2.Tab Augmentin, 625 mg, twice daily for 5 days.
3.Oral Montek LC, once in a day in night.
4.Syp Ambrodil S.

The aforementioned measures will help to reduce the symptoms and improve the condition.
Thank you.
