Hi.

It is best to revisit your doctor as the appearance of sputum does not indicate good health. You need to get tested for TB once again and if required a new regimen will be initiated, please do not self medicate with FORECOX as it is a combination of 4 different medications which need to be administered only in a particular manner and not otherwise.
