Suggest Ways To Treat MRSA While Treating A Boil On Buttocks

MRSA is susceptible to Gentamicin, Bactrim and Tetracyclines
Detailed Answer:
Hi Ms. XXXXXXX
Welcome to Health care magic.
I understand your concern regarding your mother's wound.
MRSA is Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus which is resistant to antibiotics like penicillins and cephalosporins but it is susceptible to other broad spectrum antibiotics like Gentamicin, Bactrim, Amikacin, Tetracyclines and Vancomycin.
As your mother's wound is showing signs of healing, I suggest you get regular culture and sensitivity done for swabs from the wound.
This test will indicate the susceptibility pattern of the MRSA isolated and will also indicate the control of MRSA infection.
Regular dressing of wound is necessary for faster healing.
I hope I have cleared your doubts.
Please get back if any more queries.
Thanks.
