Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Thanks to all of you for responding whaen I was diagnosed with MRSA ear infection. Update...I have finished 10 days of Avalox ( antibiotic) and off 2 days. I had an app with ENT because I still had fluid and discomfort. He put a tube in the ear for the fluid and said to use the Cipro ear drops for 4 more days. After reading lots on the net ...they do not want to order antibiotics after one course of super oral antibiotics for fear it will cause more resistance. Some of you have had IV antibiotics in the hospita;. It was stated they reserve this for infections that do not respond to oral. I also asked about an infectious disease doc and was told they talked to the one who agreed with the Avalox. I wonder if they have done any surveys to see if its the generic antibiotics that are causing this. Generics are not as strong because of packing of the powder whether it be a capsule or a tablet, small drop in strength of ingrients, substitution of ingredients and on and on. So generics may not get rid of the initial bug and even make it stronger. I always refused generics until this summer...viola...MSRA! So thanks again and I hope this doesn't reoccur. If it does I will definately let all of you know. cooky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
