Hello,

What is the colour of sputam? Cough with sputam represent lower respiratory tract infection.

So you may use tab cefpodoxime with clavulinic acid 200/125 twice a day for five days. You may may use tablet deriphylline twice a day for five days.

If symptoms not improved please consult with your neurophysician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
