Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Yes, you could be contagious if you are coughing or have a nasal discharge along with sneezing.
2. Yes, you should be worried as you can pass it on to closed ones.
3. These are routine findings in respiratory tract infection and will require a cycle of antibiotic therapy.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
