Hello,

It is related to fibrosis and cough but you can go for second opinion. You can go for culture and sensitivity test.

Everything depend on accuracy of first test. If they are correct then treatment should be done.

Pain is due to fibrosis will take time. For relief from pain,you will have to take some analgesic including some morphine substitute. Pain is mainly due to fibrosis and contraction.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
