This. Literally last week, I had to go to the ER and they ran a PCR test to identify the infection. But they also started broad spectrum antibiotics immediately. But since it was a Thursday and the lab only works weekdays, I couldn’t get the results back until Tuesday. They adjusted the antibiotics to a more targeted one once the results were back.

And I'm willing to bet that the 2nd sets of antibiotic had a lower spectrum of action than the 1sr because we had some guess about the initial strain. Also because you're still with us so it probably worked. In any case I'm glad you're better and sorry you had to go through this.
