Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that you should think of doing sputum Gram's staining and culture sensitivity. Take treatment according to sensitivity. Amoxycillin is resistant to routinely find organisms causing respiratory tract infection.
I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
Infectious disease specialist.
Wish you a best health at health care magic.
