Yellow Phelgm even after Antibiotics.

2020-11-02 07:33:41
My father had started with fever and sneezing. Had take Azithromycin 500 for 5 days, thereafter no fever. X-ray showed mildly prominent bronchovascular markings and horizontal fissure. Doctor prescribed Doxycycline 100 twice daily for 5days. My question is My father's phelgm is still yellow after taking Azithromycin and Doxycycline. Can the antibiotics be continued? Or should it be stopped.
