### 65 years old lady was brought to OPD with the chief complaint of chest pain on and off since 2 years, associated with burning sensation. Fever is present more or less all the time. No history of cough, hemoptysis, weight loss. No other significant history. In CT Thorax, it has been found that patchy consolidation is present in all the lines in both lungs along with subpleural consolidation in both lungs. What should be the next step ???
