Lung problem and hsv?
I have been having cough since a month. Showed it to pulmonologist, did chest xray its normal. Then he suspected bronchiectasis. However i am on difzima inhaler, pulmoclear twice a day. Still phlegm is there, and phlegm culture showed k pneumonia but doctor said it's insignificant.
Did sputum cb naat, negative.
Current problem: lower throat ticklish mostly, if i sit in ac, i get phlegm production more, weight loss.
Also recently i did a std panel, which showed hsv 1+2 igm to be 1.38 and positive, while the iGG for same was negative.
Csn that be causing it!
