E coli

Hi guys. Got my sons culture results today, and the only thing that grew was e coli. They said they do not treat it. The nurse also said it probably is due to him refluxing. He is on reflux medication already. He did have a drop in his pft's at clinic, but his doctor was not overly concerned since he was coming off of (2) 14 day cyles of antibiotics pretty much back to back. I had had him to his pediatrician between antibiotics because he was having daily episodes of choking on his food, liquid, and even saliva. I asked about reflux then but he said he is being treated for it and treated for a sinus infection instead. anyone else culture e coli before? Do you know if it is a cf bug, or possibly just found in anyone? I do wonder if he is refluxing even while taking a ppi, and this is actually still an issue for him. he has developmental issues and asking him questions about what he is feeling is difficult, so it can turn into a guessing game. thank you, jshet
