If I have symptoms such as yours I send in a sputum sample to my bronchiectasis specialist. We then know what bug it is and what it is sensitive too. Do you have somewhere to send a sputum sample? If your pulmonologist cannot help with this, I would find a better one.

Yes, thank you, I agree. I see the only Pulmonologist in Grass Valley, CA mid month and am asking him to test and see what type of infection and or virus I am experiencing. I believe that is the only way to treat it.
I may end up going to UC Davis in Sacramento at some point. There are not many resources for treatment in small towns. My Primary Care Physician has been helping to manage my infections, but this one was a doozie.
Thanks again for your input! 😊
Mary
