...throat culture test? I have a runny nose, wheezing, coughing all the time symptons, and sometimes some ear drum pain in my left ear. Mucus is a green color.

At first I had an EXTREMELY sore throat and a cough, no runny nose. I would could up phlegm at every cough. I went to the college doctor, and she gave me benadryl and a cough expectorant,

Well after that night of two benadryls, I awoke to a horribly runny nose and a cough that'd persist for a lot longer, though my throat is not sore any more. What the heck is wrong with me. I really want to know if this is bacterial or viral, and if bacterial, I may want some antibiotics.
