Pulmonologist 's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having persistent symptoms despite taking drugs.
This suggest that your lung infection is not controlled. And alcoholics are more prone for resistant lung infection.
Best treatment of lung infection is identification of causative organism.
So get done bronchoscopy and BAL (bronchoalveolar lavage) culture and sensitivity report.
Culture report will isolate the causative organism and sensitivity report will guide about effective antibiotic treatment.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
