Heaviness In Back, Dark And Yellowish Sputum Turning To White, Weird Taste In Throat, Enervation. On Natural Antibiotics For Pneumonia. Am I Progressing?

I have a tightness/heaviness in my back and a thick sputum that was darkish and yellowish but is now whitish. I have been taking natural anti-biotics as I ve had pneumonia twice in the last 10 month period. also am noticing a taste in my throat . my energy is dropping but I think that the colour change of the sputum is a good sign. keep doing what I m doing or do something else?

Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have considered all the facts of your medical history and the two episodes of pneumonia in last 10 months along with change in colour of your sputum.

No doubt change of colour from dark yellow to white is a good sign. But we are concerned with erradication of pathogens so please do culture and sensitivity of phlegm to see weather it is sterile or not.

Here I would like to tell you that in recovery we should consider the natural immunity of your body as well along with your natural antibiotic.

Regards.
