Dear patient.
Greetings from health care magic!!! I am Dr Thakker and shall be answering your question.

You seem to be having an upper respiratory tract infection. Since the sputum is greenish in color it suggests a severe bacterial infection with Pseudomonas. I would suggest you to take levofloxacin as an antibiotics because of its action against pseudomonas.

Supportive treatment with advill, claritine, warm salt water gargles and steam inhalation will help you as well. Bed rest, plenty of oral fluids and vitamin c is aslo beneficial.

I hope this helps you out. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to write back to me.

Yours sincerely,
Dr Thakker.
