How Can Chronic Cough And Cold Along With Fever Be Treated?

I have been coughing, having fever/cold during the course of 5 days, no sleep for 5 days & 5 nights because of coughing. My blood cultures show bacteria Staph Aureus in my blood stream. X-Ray shows my lung is full of fluid. My airway needs to be dilated; opens the airway to remove that fluid so that for the treatment. Would you please explain? 1/ I do not find this bacteria in the article on this website Bacteria and Pneumonia . Is Staph Aureus dangerous? 2/ After my airway is open, how the liquid will be pumped out of my lungs? Is this a mechanical process?After my airway is dilated, when the pumping needs to occur? How long is the pumping? 3/ I read discouraging info about this disease, would like to know my prognosis. Thank you very much. Peter Valentine

There is effective antibiotcs to kill staphs. According to culture, physiotherapy is also helpful.

Give tablet cefadroxyl, tablet Ibupara. Consult your physician for prescription. Don't worry, it seems to be alright.
