Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Respiratory tract infection is very common in COPD patients because of poor lung defense.
And same is with your case as you are having thick expectoration.
Antibiotic you are taking is also good for respiratory pathogens.
In addition to this
macrolide group of antibiotic (
azithromycin) is recommended in COPD patients. It is having excellent effect on atypical organism, so gives extended coverage.
Apart from antibiotics and inhaler, COPD patients need
mucolytic, expectorant and antioxidants drugs. All these will dilute the sputum and make it easy to
cough out.
Since all these are prescribed medicines, you need to consult your doctor for them.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
