I have recently had a sore throat (the pain was so severe it would wake me up in the middle of the night) the swelling has gone down, but now I seem to be having problems with my nose. My one nostril is completely blocked and I ve tried everything to unblock it, also every time I blow my nose, it comes out pinkish. I m just wondering if this is something I should be concerned about or if it s just normal. I ve never had my snot look like that, so I m just slightly concerned. I started taking antibiotics for this cold 2 days ago, this is my third day, could it be my body reacting to the medication? Thanks for you consideration
