Question

LRTI may be

Asked for Male, 33 Years

Hello. My wife has been suffering from fever and cough. The temperature rises a few times in a day, and the cough has blood stains in it (rusty cough). We got few blood tests done and found dengue, malaria typhoid negative. But the CBC report is disturbing. I have attached it here. We are consulting a general physician near by and he has prescribed antibiotic Mega CV 1.2 for 5 days. It has been 3 days and we got the chest Xray done today. I have attached it here. Please check and tell me if there an infection, and how severe is it. Thanks a lot. God bless you.
