PR0 - here's the story. (My wife has had it for several years although it's been dormant for a while - and I got infected once - don't even ask where
)
There are three things that you usually need to do after you have been comfirmed with MRSA.
1. Vancomycin administered via IV - they usually want to give it to you two days in a row - I got my first bag when they lanced my infection, and had to back the next day for a second bag.
2. Oral antibiotics that they'll prescribe, usually bactrim or doxycycline.
3. After the active infection is gone, bactroban nasal - you apply it inside your nose (the most common place for MRSA colonization) for 10-14 days.
The active infection should just go away by the time the antibiotics are finished --- unless it's one that needs to be lanced and drained first, and they'll probably do that before putting you on the antibiotics.
