Whom To Consult For Klebsiella Pneumoniae Infection In Mouth?
Any doctor can treat you once they have the C&S test report with them
Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Klebsiella pneumoniae on the tongue can be confirmed with the help of a culture examination, which can be conducted at the same time along with a culture and sensitivity examination. This investigation not only confirms the infection causing organism, but also provides information on the most suitable and effective antibiotic that can be used to effectively, rapidly and completely treat the infection.
As the culture was already performed, just check with your doctor (a general physician will more than suffice), whether the culture and sensitivity report arrived, if not then request for a fresh one to be conducted (usually takes 48 hours), so I hope it was conducted already.
This investigation is helpful because it helps rule out those antibiotics that you are resistant to and help the treating doctor prescribe those that you are susceptible, thus reducing the chance of a prolonged infection.
I hope I have explained things in a manner best understood by you. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.
