Hi Dyane,
I'm not a vet, my horses have all had at one time or another some 
kind of flu with their nose dripping terrible yellow nasty pus and I 
would suspect that your horse will have pus on both sides real soon. 
I'd give 20cc PennG twice a day for 6 days. Use warm Penn, rotate 
around the horse, neck and butt, left and right, rub injection site 
firmly and hand walk for a bit. All got well and no other problems. 
If it takes 2 weeks until the horse seems fine then I wait 2 more 
weeks before any real work. I did ride them after 6 days but only at 
the walk for an hour or so to keep everything moving along.
