Is it possible to have a cold while taking antibiotics for sinusitis if I have tingling in my nose after 5 days?

Yes, it is possible to have a cold while taking antibiotics for a sinus infection. Antibiotics do not treat viruses, which are often the cause of cold symptoms. It is important to continue taking the prescribed antibiotics as directed and to manage cold symptoms separately, such as by using saline nasal spray to help reduce the risk of developing a new sinus infection.
