Hello,
We need to check sputum culture and sensitivity reports in order to know if you are receiving the antibiotics which act on the particular organism you have been infected with, usually, pseudomonas aerogenosa infection can cause green phlegm. Depending on the reports we can treat you. Since your symptoms are not resolved since so long its necessary for us to do these above investigations and change the antibiotics, then you will respond well and you will be completely cured.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Archana
