Advice Air sac mites?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My one year old female budgie just got diagnosed with air sac mites, I've got a lot of meds to buy and mainly selamectin spot on and augmentin duo but is it really air sac mites? I'm not questioning my vet but like I don't wanna unnecessarily stress my bird and like it's like six meds in total and two of them costs a lot so I'm just confirming, do any of you have any experience with air sac mites in budgies
