How To Heal Cold,sneezing,runny Nose And Lousiness With Recent History Of Hospitalisation With Flu/pneumonia/COPD?

i was recently discharged from the hospital with flu/pneumonia/COPD. I have been home for about 1 wk. 2 days ago i acquired a cold which my physican put me back on antibiotics. Never have been able to produce any mucus even in the hospital. Have been using a nebulizer since discharged 4 times a day and started this really painful cough today. Still have sneezing,runny nose,and just feel lousy. What should I do at this point? I only received my antibiotic late yesterday even though I called my doctor early yesterday. Could I have the flu or pneumonia again or is this just a cold which is what my doctor suspected. never mind I'll just call the doctor. What a lousy thing to do to someone who is scared and really feeling BAD!
