Suggest Home Remedies For Cold?

hi, I got a cold when I was in India at my home. It is around two weeks now I have this cold. My cold is a lot better now but since yesterday the mucus color is changed to very dark shining yellow color. It is so dark that it is visible from 2-3 layers of paper. Today I am also suffering from foul smell in my nose. I am wondering if my cold is now gone from viral to bacterial, if that makes any sense. Should I see a GP and get antibiotics. I would prefer not to take antibiotics and suffer for 2-3 days if it will go in that time. Are there any home remedies? Thanks.
