Have Ear Pierced, Pus Coming Out And Lab Test Showed To Have Staphylococcus Bacteria. Given Antibiotic, No Help. Suggest?

Thanks for sharing your concern,
I have gone through the available details, sorry to know that you are suffering for so long.
Staphylococcus is one of the common microorganisms which cause skin and soft tissue infection.
If pus discharge is there then there is abscess formation and organisms may be resistant one to used antibiotics.
I would suggest you to consult a Surgeon and get proper drainage of pus with proper dressing.
Pus should be sent for bacterial culture and sensitivity to select proper antibiotics to cure the infection.
I am sure with proper antibiotic you will recover soon.
Please also get your fasting and postprandial blood sugar to screen for diabetes as it can be one reason to be cured.
Hope this information helps you, if you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Take care.
Regards.

My concerned ENT specialist has already gave azibest antibiotic for one week but after 15 days pus started to come out once again. so help me by reading this test report and all thease information. i m waiting for your reply.
Thanks for your input,
I am sorry to know that even the sensitive antibiotic did not work in your case.
Please visit Surgeon (ENT) again and if necessary any surgical drainage of pus should be done.
The pus culture can be repeated to choose proper antibiotics, as per this report ciprofloxacin can be used after prescription from your surgeon.
Linezolid is another antibiotic used for the treatment of serious infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria( Staphylococcus) that are resistant to several other antibiotics.
Hope this information is helpful to you; please keep me informed about progress.
I will be available for clarification if any.

Thanks for follow up,
In your case surgeon will examine and then decide if you need to undergo a surgical incision and drainage.
This is minor surgery and may be necessary if there is pus pocket. Otherwise taking proper medicines along with proper dressing will cure the wound.
I cannot comment about Ayurvedic treatment.
Hope I have addressed all your concerns, please rate my answer before closing this discussion.
