Suggest Treatment For Ear Pain And Swollen Lymph Nodes
I am a medical intuitive. A friend asked me to tune into what is happening with her boyfriend. she told me he had ear pain with swelling in the lymph glands. I kept hearing mastoid. So felt that there might be and infection in the mastoid bone. But I also heard the word MRSA She is taking him to the ER. Can and infection in the Mastoid bone be caused from MRSA. Usually it is Meningitis or Staphylcoccus. I felt and immediate urgency as soon as I started to read his energy.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Mastoiditis is now a days a rare infection, mainly because of better treatment available for otitis media. However, if improper treatment has occurred then infection can spread to mastoids. MRSA (Methicllin Rsistant Staphylococcus Aureus) are a tough bacteria, which are very resistant to many antibiotics. So that kind of an infection is a possibility. Thanks
