Hi doctor, I have been diagnosed with an MRSA infection in my middle ear. The infection has been around for 9 months now, my GP originally thought it was a common infection and gave me some ciprofloxacin drops for about 5 months to no avail. I found an alternative opinion recently that did a swab test and foundit was MRSA. Since the eardrum hasn t healed in 9 months, he recommended some antibiotics followed by ear surgery. What would be your recommendations for treatment, is ear surgery necessary? Thank you, doctor. Lawrence
