I gad been given augmentin but it didnt work even though i stopped taking my doxycycline. [/INST] Hello, hope you are feeling better now. To paraphrase your question, I understand that you had chills and a cough, stuffy nose and then an ear infection. After treatment with azithromycin, you have pink sputum, is that correct? When my patients come with pink sputum, if they are not breathless or sick (in which case I would think of fluid in the lungs or heart failure causing the pink sputum), a small amount usually is not a major cause for concern. It should settle once you complete your course of antibiotics, as it could be due to the infection itself producing the color. Do see a doctor if you have any of the following:1. Breathlessness2. High fever3. Loss of weight4. Blood in the sputumWish you a speedy recovery. Will be happy to clarify if there are any other issues. </s>
