Hi
You definitely have an infection
Now we don't know whether you are producing any sputum (bulgam)
If you are then you should get a sputum culture
Besides you have to take antibiotics
I will have to see the chest X-ray
I can't rely on sputum AFB being negative
I may need TB culture
If you questions get back to us here.
