For the past 2-days, she has been finding it increasingly difficult to breathe and has been coughing up green-coloured sputum. She has recently been diagnosed with mild-severity COPD for which she uses a bronchodilator inhaler for symptomatic relief. A chest X-ray performed in ED shows left lower zone consolidation. Her CURB-65 is calculated as 4. She is currently stable. What should she be prescribed?
