Suggest Treatment For Msra Infection
My thirteen year old daughter was diagnosed with a msra, that appears to be healing, however she has a intermittent low grade temperature, extreme fatigue, irritability. The doctor has ran a CAT scan on her abdomen as the msra was near her tailbone, an xray on her sinuses, and is waiting results on the three day mono test. Still no real clue as to what is wrong. Her inflammation levels are normal as is her white blood cell count

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
MRSA is methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus. It is treatable by stronger antibiotics like vancomycin and linezolid. I suggest you wait for the results and then let her treating doctor decide as to whether she requires any more antibiotics. If she comes positive for mono test then she needs to be treated by antivirals and not antibiotics. I am suspecting infectious mononucleosis based on her symptoms.
Thanks.
