1.5 yr old has chronic bacterial bronch. cultures nontypeable h-flu resistant to penicillin. allergic to sulpha. omnicef (cefdinir) isn't working. other options?

A little time: Atbcs take a few days to provide noticeable clearing of symptoms. When the lab tests the mucus, the labs tests what atbc the bacteria is susceptible to. Likely your physician saw the susceptibility report and rx Omnicef (cefdinir) based on that report. Perhaps give the treatment a few more days.
