Suggest Remedy For Cough With Phlegm & Fever
I was diagnosed with pneumonia on 5/14/14 and took an anti-biotic of sulfamethoxazole-tmp dis for 10 days . During which time my 101 degree temp went down to normal and my coughing up yellow phlegm stopped also. Now since 6/13/14 I am again coughing up yellow phlegm and have a low grade temp of 97.2. and feel somewhat fatigued. Should I be concerned?

Yes you should repeat your chest xray and see whether the pneumonia has gone.
If the pneumonia still persists then it must be feature of tuberculosis.
And you also need to do sputum studies to confirm or rule out tuberculosis
