Bacterial pharyngitis
Hi
I was getting pharyngitis like sumptoms from mar..took antibiotics but no change in symptoms.
There are 3 granules and slight swelling in pharynx.
Recently my throat culture was done and it showed klebsiella pneumoniae presence.
Please explain what this is?
Is it curable??
M scared too much because when i read google , it says this is very uncommon.
Hello
No need to worry. Klebsiella is bacteria only and many antibiotics work well on it so just don't bother.
You also need some lifestyle modifications along with medicines .
Next Steps
You can take ENT consultation for better understanding
