Hello and hope you are doing well.

If there is fever and cough with thick yellow sputum it indicate a persistent infection of the lower respiratory tract. You need antibiotics to tackle the infection. Further you will need bronchodilators to help with the wheezing. Please consult your doctor. Also do steam inhalations they help to loosen up the secretions.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
