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
