Staph/MRSA infection

Teagans Mommy

I have had a boil for 4 days now and have been put on antibiotics and it hasnt helped any infact its getting worse by the hr and i now noticed i am getting a 2nd boil only inches away from the first. my amily doctor told me my ob needs to be the one to take over now because i am 22 weeks pregnant i go tom. any idea what they will do and what can it do to the baby? my doctors biggest concern is i was already in the hospital last year for 32 days with staph/mrsa that got into my blood and was on a very strong medicine thru a picc line and believes there is a chance nothing will work now

I don't have any experience with this, but MRSA is serious.  If it doesnt look like it's improving with the antibiotics, call your ob immediately to discuss treatment options.  GL to you.
