Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello ,

I understand your concern.

I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern.

You are infected with Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.

Gram positive cocci in short chains and pairs are commensal flora of the lung.

I suggest you to do culture and sensitivity of the sputum further. Once you have that in your hand you can take the complete treatment of the infection.

Please do respiratory exercise also. It will help our body clean up the systems.

Glad to answer your further concern contact me on bit.ly/DrArun
We wish you a best health at healthcare magic.
Thank you,
Dr. Arun Tank
