Hi rwalz. Can you bring your son to a specialized children's hospital? They would have pediatric pulmonologists and infectious disease doctors who have experience in diagnosing and treating breathing problems, and they would be better able to coordinate any treatment. Best of luck with your little guy.
My ID doc believed the results, and prescribed Amikacin via nebulizer, and that’s what the culture was sensitive to. It was completely resistant to the normal stuff, ethambutol, etc.
I was treated also because I am immunocompromised, so we didn’t want to take the chance that it could grow out of control.
