Besides, he's been miserable for months....so Dr J and Mr H. Now we know why. I will keep the bottle and when he's healthy, give it a try. .....no one has ever said anything about MRSA. He's been on antibiotics on and off since Dec, so I doubt they would find anything....I don't know but will ask the ENT on Monday. Take care, Everyone.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Our son 13 yrs old has had MRSA in his sinus cavity and his right ear before. We have been battling this for over 1 1/2. The normal antibiotics dont work with MRSA they may calm the infection down but as soon as you go off it rares its ugly head. So, Duke put him on Septra an old drug and that worked for a while but now we are headed for surgery again. They irrigate his sinus, put beta dine in and take a culture to see what type of infection it is so we know how to treat it. Its very frustrating! MRSA is tough to get rid of as well and can spread to others in the family too.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I understand about the MRSA. has been battling this for just about two years now, and when he goes off the antibiotics, it comes right the hell back. I also have Bactroban, an antibiotic cream that I apply, but I have no idea how to make this go away for good. I have a book for young adults with Down's and it states that this is a very common occurence with our kids from the puberty years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
