the first line typicall for MRSA is Vancomycin unless they are covering something else with clinda or if showed sensitivity to clinda and vanco, (vanco is not a fun drug to monitor if it can be avoided), if symptoms are not improving for two weeks then it may be a good idea to consider changing antibiotics, ocnsidering inpatient IV antibiotics etc. good luck

Manuka Honey has antiseptic qualities, and has been used to kill off infections and super bugs in surgical or other wounds.
Try smearing some of the honey onto the wound and repeat as necessary until infection has gone.
Make sure to get the Manuka Honey that has the live active ingredient and not the processed version. Most good health food shops have it in stock.

Vancomycin is the front line treatment.. must be given IV. If you have diabetes or any vascular problem you can have additional complications and slow healing. Extremely good hygeine, and wound care are also needed. If your insurance plan covers silver acticoat have it put in the wound bed.

Vancomycin and teicoplanin are glycopeptide antibiotics used to treat MRSA infections.
Please see the webpages for more details on MRSA.

if u have a diabetic foot infection?? possibly anaerobic, so think clinda. but if mrsa think vanco.. should probably use both.
