Did you have antibiogram testing to know which antibiotics are most suitable for your infection? How old are you? Have you been in a good health condition before that 8 weeks?

My husband has the exact same type of problem. We are searching for answers also. Have you received any new information.

Does your husband feel an ache or pain when breathing or coughing?
Has he lost some weight recently?
Is he short of breath?
