Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since sputum culture is showing bacteria and pus cells, possibility of lung infection (pneumonia) is more likely. Usual time for recovery of pneumonia is 15-20 days. Your repeat sputum culture is showing lesser bacterial load. So your pneumonia is improving. So in my opinion, you should take these Chat Doctor. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
