I had a MAC culture done in October with the results in November and it was negative. I know that doesn’t mean that I could’ve got it between now & then though.

I had bronchoscopy done smear was taken it was negative. The biopsy came back a month later with few MAC cells. How was culture taken ? From sputum? Do pulmonologists treat by culture size differently - heavy vs few? I am currently in waiting mode for 6 months as Dr thinks it will resolve on its own. Wondering if trying to cough daily will help?
