I'm going through the same thing with my 7 month old and am really thinking about treating it with long term antibiotics. My thinking is keep any permanent lung damage at bay until something better comes along. It works for pseudomonas so why not staph?

I only culture for staph aureus and it is not treated unless I get a secondary infection with a fever.

Zoe's docs have never treated her Staph unless she is actively showing icky symptoms of an infection. Otherwise, most of the time, we do not treat it.
The kiddos will culture Staph....the more we treat it with anti-biotics....the quicker it will lead to MRSA. Not to say that someone with MRSA was treated often for Staph...but, logically, the more you treat regular ole Staph with anit-biotics, the likelier it will turn into MRSA eventually.
Just my thoughts.......

Bek's doc doesn't always treat MRSA when she cultures positive. I've wondered why he didn't, but since she didn't have a major jump from baseline cough each time, I figured he didn't want her becoming resistant to the Zyvox. Figured he knows best. Anyone else have the same situation? Or does everyone else have a doc that automatically treats it?
