How many days does it take to get the results of blood culture positive?

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child. I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with this series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will become worse. Please ask how many days it takes to get the results of blood culture positive.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if the blood culture is negative, it takes five days, and the report will state "cultured for five days with no bacterial growth." If it is positive, further bacterial identification and drug sensitivity tests are required, which also take about five days. This is a symptom caused by chronic diseases and requires hospital examination for targeted treatment. You can take the Chinese herbal medicine Yin Zhi Huang oral liquid, maintain a regular lifestyle, have a consistent sleep schedule, and avoid harmful stimuli.
