Does routine respiratory flora mean Im strep free?Age: 48Sex: femaleHeight: 5 8Weight: 150Race: whiteDuration of complaint: weekLocation: throatAny existing relevant medical issues: StrepCurrent medications: noneInclude a photo if relevantI was treated for strep but still felt a little sick so I asked for a other culture. The results came back routine respiratory flora. I cant get anyone at One Medical to respond/explain so I thought Id check here and see if that means Im ok or if something else is going on.

It means you have the normal bacteria that grow in your mouth. As for whether or not you are improving from strep throat, the culture has no bearing on that.
Yeah I'm wondering that, bc it just happened, just not as long or as low and he hasn't had the bipap on for 12 hrs. I'm wondering if the bipap exacerbates it but there's another issue like diaphragm or bronchospasm.
I wouldn't think bipap would exacerbate it. I do think there's likely another reason for his desats, like bronchospasm. Not likely a diaphragm problem. Follow up with his doctor.
