Last week, sept 6-13, I had a cold/sinus infection/flu type sickness and I went to the doctor on thurs and he said it was just a cold. I caught it from my best friend, and then I gave it to my mom sometime last week 
I was just wondering if it is possible for me to catch the cold/sinus infection/flu or whatever back from her. Especially since i'm not quite over it and still have a croupy cough and am taking prescription decongestant/expectorant and amoxicillin. If it is possible to recatch the virus what is the probability that I would get it again?
