Answer 1

it depends what part of the body the MRSA(methicillian Resistant Staph Aureus) was found in. MRSA is sensitive to the oral antibx Bactrim (for wound infections) and intravenous Vancomycin 9for blood infections) . Also for simple wound infections the topical ointment Bactroban may be helpful. Since MRSA is so common now- a lot of people are colonized (have in on there skin) with being infectious . Also sometimes MRSA is found in ear tubes- removing the tube will remove the MRSA. talk to your Doctor. Good luck

Answer 2

did your daughter underwent laboratory test?if not, i would suggest that a sample from her boil may have it laboratory tested for culture and sensitivity to know which drug she might respond to...i agree that a lot of immunocompromised patient are infected by MRSA....
