Yes family doctors can inject immunoglobulin shots. However they may just have IgG and don't know if they have IgM. IT still might help with your immune status. There may be some other new immune boosting medicines. I'm not sure for bacterial. I know they can use interferon for viruses but it won't help for TB or bacterial disease. Interferon is very expensive. I don't feel very smart since I haven't been working due to a back injury and tendonitis, knee injury, just got over a blood clot but it is gone now. etc. But it is good to share knowledge and help people on here. That is why I am here. I hope to have good health too. I appreciate your good wishes, I need them too, LOL.

Well you can see what they say in family medicine and if it isn't good enough see a infectious disease. It is important.

Well, if you want to talk to the doctor that ordered the CT scan that had the fungus result on it. I don't know what kind of doctor that was. You can see what that doctor says or that kind of doctor. What was he?

It depends on the fungus type. Some fungi are resistant to Fluconazole. That is why you need to find out what type it is. My aunt has a Aspergillus (called an aspergilloma) on her lung so it is a particular type. The doctor told her she had to take both steroid and anti-fungal medication for it. I asked my former director who is world renowned for infectious disease, and he said yes you have to have both the steroid to heal the damage to the lung plus the anti-fungal to kill the fungus. So you need to find out if what you have is an aspergilloma or not. If it is you have to take the steroid with it. This isn't something you can self medicate or try to go around and not get the identification of it is necessary for survival. If it turns out to be something less serious that is great but I would see a good infectious disease doctor even if you have to pay for it.
