I've cultured that but they have never treated it.

Ds cultured it as a baby. If he got a sinus infection he was treated with augmentin. When he was 2 1/2 he was put on azithromycin and his doctor indicated that should take car of it, which it did.

my dd cultures it regularly, especially when she has colds. They treat it depeding on symptoms or if she hasn't been treated with antibiotics for a long time

Lots of options for it. Ceftriaxone, Ceftazidime, Cefepime, Ampicilin/Sulbactam, Cipro/Levoquin, clarithromycin or azithromycin, etc.

When ds did culture it, I noticed he'd have head cold/sinus infection symptoms. Once he stopped culturing it, he didn't get sinus or ear infections anymore.
