Brief Answer:
Get antibiotics that are sensitive to infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I saw the attached report.

You need to take antibiotics that the infection is sensitive to.

"S" means sensitive. The organism is sensitive to the infection. Show this report to your doctor/ Pharmacist and get the antibiotics in front of which "S" is written.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

1. Please suggest dosage of one of the antibiotics from the list.
2. why dint avspen lb work? Is it worrisome
3. do I need to go in for any other testing

Answered by Dr. Mahesh Koregol (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Repeat test in different lab

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

1) Levofloxacin 250 mg 3 times daily for 5 days is a good option. Check in the pharmacy.

2) The organism is unlikely to be sensitive to avspen hence not worked.

3) Get another testing done in another lab to see the difference. First finish the antibiotics course and then repeat the test.
