Suggest Medicine For Coughing With A Thick Greenish Yellow Mucous
I have had a bad cough and have been coughing up a thick greenish yellow mucous and there is a sharp pain in my chest and back where my lungs are. I have tried Z-pack, prednisone, albuterol inhaler as well as breathing machine and it has helped in the past is there a stronger antibiotic I could take?
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. Thick greenish-yellow mucus sputum and pain in the chest with cough indicates lower respiratory tract infection. You need to take Antibiotic Tablet. Levofloxacin 500 mg once a day for 5 days. Along with it you need to take Mucolytic Syrup which contains Ambroxyl with Chlorpheniramine maleate combination three teaspoons thrice a day for 5 days. Gradually, your symptoms will reduce by 3 to 5 days. Hope the information provided is useful. All Tue best.
