Thank you for choosing HCM

Based on the symptoms that you have described, it seems that you have a sinus infection. This happens when the sinuses are blocked because of some bacteria or some other reason. Here are a few things you can try along with the medication:
Inhale steam which is infused with eucalyptus oil to help you
Also drink a lot of water to prevent dehydration

If you are not taking any antibiotics, you may need to take them. Since the sputum is red in colour, there is a chance that this is a bacterial infection. In this case, you will need to take the right antibiotic.

All the best. Wish you a speedy recovery.
Hope this helps you
