Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. As you having yellow it is most likely bacterial infection. In such case antibiotic therapy will be required. I would suggest antibiotics like Azithromycin or Co-amoxiclav in such case. Nasal decongestants and anti histamines will be helpful along with this. Taking chewable vitamin C will be helpful for fast healing also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
