I have been diagnosed with mrsa causing boils on my body but now taking amoxicillian but last 2 days been discharging a pearl sub, should l be worried?

MRSA: Mrsa is not treated by amoxicillin. Amoxicillin is what the 'resistance' means in mrsa. Being on Amoxicillin when one has MRSA will make the infection worse.
