Yellow or green mucus in the nose doesn't necessarily mean that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, mucus thickens and changes color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
