Suggest Medication For MRSA
My son was diagnosed with MRSA a month ago (finger blister/lesion) blister was removed and he took medicine for two weeks with the area completely healed. Monday he was seen at the doctors office for swimmers ear . He has been on Floxin for two days and the pain is getting worse. My concern may be crazy but could this be MRSA as opposed to swimmers ear ? He is 14 and has not been able to sleep for more than an hour for the past 48 hours because of pain.

Hello. It's very unlikely that the ear problem is MRSA--this is more likely just an external otitis that would respond to Cipro antibiotic ear drops.
