Hello there i am dr.milan answering your query. I am an infectious disease specialist.
Your infection is likely because of MRSA, but you have already treated that and now its worsoning so we need to confirm it again is it MRSA again or some other oraganism like
Other bbacteria, or fungal or mycobacteria. So wee need to confirm it again.
According to that treatment will be plan so you need to go for culture and microscopic examination specialy for these organisms.
And one more thing i want to add that for treatment of MRSA, all betalactam drugs should be avoid because it is not effective as per standard international guidelines.
And please do culture examination at reliable microbiology lab handled by microbiologist. And also consult your physician and follow complete schedule.
Hope i have given proper guidance toward your problem.
