Treatment depends on how bad your symptoms and infections are. If infections are not getting in the way of your daily life, treating them right away may be enough. If you get frequent or severe infections that keep coming back, you may do well with ongoing treatment. This will help to prevent sickness or reduce symptoms or frequency. This may mean taking a daily antibiotic to ward off infections. You may need to alternate between other antibiotics if infections and symptoms still happen.

Some people who suffer from severe infections may need immunoglobulin therapy to help boost the body’s immune system rather than relying on antibiotics to prevent infections. Immunoglobulin therapy can be provided under the skin or in the veins.
