Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
MRSA is Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureus. It is gram positive bacteria, spread through contamination.
So you are right, dentist might contaminate MRSA in your case.
It usually produce pneumonia. And the symptoms are cough with expectoration, chest pain, fever , weakness , low energy etc.
So your symptoms can be due to MRSA pneumonia.
Better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Chest x ray
2. Sputum culture and sensitivity
Chest x ray is needed to know the extent of pneumonia.
And sputum culture and sensitivity is needed to guide antibiotic therapy.
So start appropriate antibiotics according to sensitivity pattern and you will be alright.
