Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Klebsiella is very notorius organisms for its drug resistant. It is capsulated and prevent the drug to touch the bacteria.

So in my advice you should take the sensitivity profile done from the urine and from the blood.

Taking antibiotics as per the report will cure you at earliest. This is the simple and most effective method to cure any infection.

Please maintian good hygiene by cleanliness.

Good hand washing practice is very effective in this mode.

Please drink plenty of water for the infection to flush out.


I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
