Exposed to sick child, cold symptoms, but feel better. my nose culture, "rare gram positive cocci" and "few gram positive bacilli". do i need meds??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mgt: The culture will be finalized, and then the need for antibiotics better determined. Do you have a sore throat, thick nasal drainage or fever? In the meantime, nasal saline rinses may be used. If there is prolonged cough, a follow up is advised.
