Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have pneumonia before . I had replacement surgery on both hips last year . I received the flu and pneumonia shots prior to surgery . I m walking fine. I ve been run down, weak , and feverish for a week or so. Now I m coughing up straw colored green tinged phlegm . Body aches ; especially down my left shoulder blade and back . Intense sharp pain , upon inhaling , worse exhaling .
It could be staphylococcus infection or pseudomonas since green phlegm is coming. You need to take respective antibiotics after asking for culture and sensitivity of your sputum.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Archana
