What Causes Inflammation?
Hi,I have been diagnosed with predominance coccobacilli. I become inflamed over the weekend and my doctor just treated me. My questions is how can I avoid this from happening again? I recently started working out running on the treadmill could this have caused my inflammation?

Hello, this is Dr. Gidoiu,
Coccobacilli means spherical bacteria. You have an infection, and most likely your doctor prescribed you some antibiotics.
In which location are you having inflammation?
No, running on the treadmill itself cannot cause you the inflammation. But there are associated risks in a public gym. I would advise to be more hygienic when washing in the public showers at the gym, use clean towels to clean yourself of sweat or after showering.
The only kind of inflammation that running on the treadmill can give you is inflammation associated with improper exercise, due to muscle strain, or tendon strain. But this would not include bacterial infection.
I think you are making a wrong connection between the infection and the treadmill.
