MSRA Infection, Bactrim, Flagyl, Spot On Labia, Drained, New One Formed. Treatment?
Thanks for the query.
MRSA or methicillin-resistant staphylococcus is a bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics (commonly used penicillin antibiotics). However there are some antibiotics to which it is susceptible. Discuss with your doctor that since your daughter is having recurrent infection after treatment with the current drugs, should she be receiving a different antibiotic. He/ she may put her on some different antibiotic to which the organism is susceptible such as Clindamycin and Linezolid. In some cases another antibiotic called Vancomycin maybe needed.
It is very important that the appropriate antibiotics should be taken for the entire course as directed by her doctor. Diabetics are more prone to infection by MRSA and hence you should get her blood sugar levels done.
Some precautionary measures need to be taken by other family members also. They should wash their hands with soap and water after physical contact with the infected skin, use separate towels and wash the soiled clothes or linen in a good detergent with plenty of hot water.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions then please do post us.
Wishing you good health.
