Why am I having a cough with green sputum?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have two complaints for the past five days. One is deep hacking cough with greenish sputum and the other is stomach pain with loose stools. No nausea or vomiting. Please advise. Another doctor prescribed Omeprazole and Ranitidine but I have seen no improvement in my condition. Also, I live in a place where the air quality is very poor.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

By your history and description, the possibility of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) is more likely. A cough with greenish expectoration is commonly seen with pseudomonas infection. And this can also cause gastritis and diarrhea. So in my opinion, you should start tablet Ziffi CV one tablet twice daily, Azithromycin 500 mg one tablet once a day, syrup Bronchorex one spoon full three times a day, tablet Pantocid L (Pantoprazole and Levosulpiride combination) twice daily on empty stomach. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated. Also, take an oral rehydration solution (ORS). Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Take these drugs for five days. Do let me know if have a fever, diabetes or hypertension? Do you smoke? Please reply me answers to above-asked questions, so that I can guide you better. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It is good that you do not have any co-morbidities. Do not worry, you will be alright with the above-mentioned drugs. Just maintain good hydration with ORS. Also, drink warm water and warm milk with turmeric.
