Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that there is active infection, or there must be some other factor as well.
You may need to have a culture and sensitivity of the sputum, and test for A.F.B. The blood work for eosinophelia usually accompanied with such infections.
So i advise you to consult a chest physician for diagnosis and treatment.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods to hasten the recovery.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
