Hello Puti, sputum is from the coughing I understand. Is that correct? Have you gotten your chest examined? Blood tests CBC, ESR, CRP & sputum test done? Please share the results. Excessive mucus denotes imbalance in Agni (digestive system) & increase in Kapha dosha. 
Have only Warm, light foods: Consume warm, easily digestible foods like soups, broths, and cooked vegetables. Avoid cold, heavy, and oily foods that can aggravate Kapha.
Spices: Use warming spices like ginger, black pepper, and cinnamon in your food to help reduce mucus and improve digestion.
Honey: Honey is excellent for balancing Kapha and reducing sputum. A spoonful of raw honey with warm water in the morning helps clear the respiratory tract. Have 1/4 tsp of Sitopaladi churna with 1/4 tsp honey before breakfast and after lunch and after dinner. Tab Kasakuthar 1-1-1 after meals. Triphala powder 1 tsp after an hour of  dinner.
