As I understand it, the concern is for bacterial infections, not so much viral infections. I had a cold and my doctor gave me A/C anyway. A sinus infection -- sore throat, ear ache -- could be bacterial, so I'm glad you have an appointment to see the doctor and maybe get some antibiotics. THere are good booklets about how to care for yourself during chemo. I hope your Oncologist gave you some booklets. If not, honestly, I'm concerned about the care you are getting. Maybe it's time to start being a squeaky wheel.
