Suggest Remedy For CA-MRSA In Pregnancy

My daughter was just diagnosed with CA-MRSA and is 33 weeks pregnant. She is also allergic to Duricef, Septra and Ceclor. Are there any antibiotics that she will be able to take safely? The site of the infection has been lanced,drained and packed and then the packing was removed the next day. This is on the back of her leg just below her buttocks. The area of redness and swelling is now approximately the size of a softball. The ER told her there is nothing that can be done for her due to her allergies and pregnancy.

Thanks for posting your query to HCM. If your daughter is allergic to Penicillin along with cephalosporin grou[ ypu can not give her any medication of this group . But local cleaning and dressing should be done with use of local antiseptics help in rapid healing . You can tried Azithromycin or Erythromycine base if she is not allergic to these drug as these are safe during pregnancy .
