What are the best treatments for Bartonella Henselae (Cat-Scratch Disease)?

Answer:
I presume your daughter has inflammation (swelling) of the optic nerve associated with B. henselae. These cases will resolve with or without treatment. Some doctors choose to use an antibiotic in the belief that it will hasten (quicken) recovery. There is limited proof that this is any better than just observation and time.
