I would give it another week before seeing the doctor again (or just call your doctor to give them an update and see if you need to come in). As long as you don’t have a temperature and your mucous is not turning color (green, brown) later in the day, you probably don’t have a bacterial infection (which antibiotics can help–they won’t do anything for a virus). Try to sleep/rest as much as possible (can any relatives/friends watch your toddler to make it easier for you?) and drink lots of hot liquids and chickens soup. Hope you feel better soon!
