Hello,
You have brown sputum expectoration in form of cough since many months. So, it should not be neglected. Your work up is needed in form of chest x-ray.
If chest x-ray normal, then no need to worry and bronchitis can be the possibility for which antibiotic course prescribed and symptomatic management done. Provide your reports for giving more comment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
