Laura, my DH had it and gave it to me. Whatever it was. His throat was not sore or red, mine was. Both our eyes were gooey, he had the cough, I had the sinus back-drip.

So I thought a bit of allergy got mixed in, after the infection. He got a bit better and it returned for a day or two more, so did I. It is a real wild bug going around...or two.

I hope you feel better soon. Sorry your vacation got side-whacked. If the mucus still has color in it, you may need another one. It should turn white and then clear when you are better. Many times I get 7-10 days with a refill of Biaxin or a Z-pack.

Never fool with the sinuses, my doctor said. They are too close to the brain. He said if I see color get a script.

Erin, when you take an Anti-Biotic, buy a bottle of Pro-biotic capsules. Refrigerate them. Better than yogurt or a plan acidophilus. It has 3 billion good bacteria in it and you will not get that female-cursed after infection. One every 12 hours. It really works. I can't take Penicillin either.
