Dear ...don't say never in hell....you never know what you have to do. My battle has always been infections...sinus or bronchitius. so yes I do believe in antibiotic treatment. Talked to pcp about always being on an antibiotic for maintenance. He said not a bad idea...heck good old amoxicillin used to work good for me. Ceftin worked also...I guess it just depends on what your major problems are....Good Luck...Sue Marth
