Sputum test gram positive bacteria

2022-07-30 09:18:08
I had chronic cough which lasted 2 months. I got rid of that and was well for around 2-3 months. Again, I have caught cough which is already more than weeks old. I don't have any other symptoms like headache, bodyache or acute weakness, just coughing. Now, I have taken sputum tests and the report has stated that I have 'gram positive bacilli' and 'gram positive cocii in pairs and chains' in gram strain test of sputum. Pus cells are occasional. How do I treat this?
