in November I was diagnosed with bacterial and fungal lung infection. have crohns disease and was told it was from taking cimzia. took 10 days of antibiotics and now I am sick again. my chest hurts really bad. I started another round of antibiotics, Bactrim. question is how long does It take to get rid of these infections.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. The best treatment of lung Infection is to identify the causative organism and then start appropriate treatment. So in your case better to get done sputum culture report to identify the causative organism. Then get done sensitivity report for guidance about effective antibiotic treatment. By this we can avoid unnecessary use of antibiotic and fasten the recovery. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Get done sputum culture and sensitivity report. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
