A doctor has provided 1 answer

Temp/ sputum color: Start with taking your temperature. If you do not have a fever, underlying immune compromised state or diabetes, begin with warm saline gargles at least 4 times a day. Drink warm fluids with 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1 tsp honey in a 8 oz glass of warm water 8 times a day. Cough up and spit out the sputum. If it is yellow/ green/ brown/ dark in color, go see an MD for cultures and antibiotics.
