Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should start cough expectorant and mucolytic agents.
It will dilute the sputum and makes it easy to expectorate.
So start mucolytic and expectorant syrup.
If not improve in 5 days, you may need chest x ray.
Drink plenty of fluids and avoid oily and spicy food.
I find this answer helpful
