Suggest Treatment For Pneumonia And Persistent Cough
I have had the flu and then pneumonia and was in hospital. I have had a lot of coughing and diagnosed with coughing pneumonia. I have now been back at work with only a little bit of cough using an inhalor with albuterol. Today I started getting ichy ears and a little bit of a sore throat. I am coughing up green yellow phelgm. lol i meant coughing asthma. sorry

thanks for your question
i completely understand your question
actually cough with yellow green sputum means bacterial infection.
you need to see a pulmonologist who can request for a sputum pyogenic culture and senstivity and prescribe you some broad spectrum antibiotics like cefexime for a week .
continue with the inhalers
asthma can be diagnosed by spirometry , and your symptoms might be infective exacerbation of bronchial asthma / abpa if sputum is golden brown.
thanks
feel free to ask more questions
may god bless you with good health
