Hello
I think she needs stronger antibiotic as augmentin doesnot cover gram negative bacteria and atypical bacteria.
i will advise you to consult physician and take his opinion.
You give sputum for culture and sensitivity testing and adjust antibiotics according on physician's advise.
i hope you understood, take care and get well soon.
