White sputum for more than 2months

Question

Asked for Female, 33 Years

I have been getting white sputum since long time. Got AFB, TB Test done. TB is negative. Was having k. Pneumonia and took antibiotics for that. Got chest Xray also done and was normal. Consulted pulmo and I was told it is allergy. But what I am not understanding is, it has been so many days, still I am getting white sputum sometimes however sevearity has reduced. How to completely get cured from this? Had gastritis also and took medicine for it. Is sputum generation and gastritis related? Not sure which expert to consult. Got ultrasound of abdomen and reports were normal.
