Hello,

if your doctor believes that this is true infection then an antibiogram would help to guide treatment. Previous exposure to antibiotics, recent hospitalization and other factors may increase the chances for resistant pathogens, which means that commonly used antibiotics won't probably work.

So what you've got to do is to check whether an antibiogram has been done and let your doctor decide for the best treatment option. It would be too risky to suggest any treatment right now without the antibiogram as it is very likely to fail...

I hope you find my comments helpful!
Kind Regards!
