Sputum report abnormalities guidance
I was recently admitted in hospital with acute streptococcus pneumoniae as detected in my Sputum report. I had continues dry coughing and occasional low grade fever and body chills. I have completed the antibiotics course but the coughing still persists. There has been no Sputum discharge for the last 3 weeks except only a small amount of discharge that happened due to which the Sputum test could be done. Based on my Sputum report could there be anything serious that I need to be worried about.
