Hello, thanks for your contact to healthcaremagic. If I am your doctor I advice to continue with the current treatment. MRSA is the diagnosis made after the laboratory test. It is not possible to diagnose clinically. I advice you to do culture and sensitivity of the organism. If you want to ask me anything kindly contact me. Dr. Arun Tank. Infectious disease specialist.
