MRSA - Post delivery c section
I had c section on 18th nov and after that on stitches I got infection in culture report it was mentioned I have MRSA. I already have got 3 course of antibiotics and the boil was drained out following with daily dressing by doctor. Now again in the same place I got a bump on the same place of stitches when asked doctor they gave me medicine for 14days.
Does to heal MRSA we need to take 14days linezolid?
And is MRSA common after c section?
And will it heal after 14days?As already it's being 1 month I am taking different antibiotics which was prescribed by doctor for the MRSA based on the culture report.
Will MRSA will come back on the same place?

If u r taking the antibiotics for which the organism is sensitive no need to worry . Do daily dressing, have high protein diet and take the prescribed antibiotics.

Sometimes MRSA is difficult to treat , get proper dressing done with regular medication , get protein rich diet , with added vitamin c like in lemon , it should heal positively
