Pus Filled Lump On The Hip. Took Orflox. Concerned About The Surgical Removal. Is This MRSA?
Hi, I had this huge bump on my hip last month which had pus in it so my doctor gave me orflox oz as soon as it dried I stopped taking it and now again that bump has turned into a big bubble which is full of blood and pus and is jelly like. I don t want to get it operated ad I am very scared. Please help. Will orflox oz now help? And I am even worried if it s MRSA

hi ur pus filled bump on the hip is a furuncle.i do not think it is mrsa because u did not use methicilin for ur earlier bump.hence use clavum 625 mg twice daily and a anti inflammatory agent like combiflame and application of t-bact ointment over the lesion for seven days .if no response it can be mrsa where altargo ointment and rifamcin can work .it still there go for incision and drainage
