Hello there. I can understand your concern. Your sputum is showing the growth of certain organism. It means you are suffering from an infection. You will require antibiotics and even expectorants for this which will be prescribed to you as per your clinical examination. You can consult a pulmonologist or a consultant physician regarding this issue. Best regards. Dr. Anil kumar jain.
