How Can COPD Be Treated?

I am 67, have copd and a number of other health issues. When I had mrsa I was given Zyvox. Noe 1 month later it is back. I am allergic to all antibotics except z pak & zyvox. I was given a ointment that turned my skin red and it itched so much I had to wash it off. Will it just go away by it s self? A visiting nurse is trying to help but the abcess has to open on it s own as she is not aloud to do anything invasive.

Hi since it is an abscess--dress with Epsom and an antibiotic cream--till better. It will hopefully subside or open up with this--regards
