Hi, I have recently had sinusitis, respiratory infection and bronchitis. I have a couple more days of taking amoxicillin 500 mg 3x day for 10 days. I m still blowing my nose and have yellow mucus. I m starting to get another headache today and am still congested. I also have been taking Zertec 5 mg 2x day, cough syrup and Flonase 2x day. I m 87 yrs old. Thank you for your response. MLM
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Persistent yellow sputum is suggestive of unresolved lung infection. So in my opinion, you should get done chest x-ray and sputum culture and sensitivity report. Chest x-ray is must for the diagnosis of pneumonia. Culture report will isolate the causative organism and sensitivity report will guide about effective antibiotic treatment. By this we can achieve speedy recovery in lung infection. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
