Hello,
M. Cattarhalis is not a common infection in a healthy adult. It usually happenes to be in persons with compromised immune system.
Since you are 59 years old and have hepatitis C which damages liver very badly, both of these contribute to weaken immunity. General advise:
1. Maintain good food habits and vitamin supplements.
2. take steam inhalation regularaly
Next Step; See your ENT specialist and infection specialist to get proper diagnosis and treatment and also to look for any co-morbid conditions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. HIMANSHU DHANAK
