welcome to hcm,
you will have to get your differential count[blood test],in case your eosinophil count is high you wil have to take medicines for 21 days.you wiil also have to get your sputum checked for acid fast bacili to rule out t,b.[tuberculosis] if positive you will have to take a full course of anti
t.b. treatment
you also get a sputum culture and sensitivity to find out the causative organism.
