A member asked:
What do you suggest if my son had a boil on his bottom lanced and tested positive for mrsa. they put him on eryped (erythromycin ethyl succinate) for 10 days.?

Hard to predict: The act of draining the boil may be the primary thing that allows it to heal. That would not be the antibiotic I would choose as back up but my choice is based on local germ sensitivities published by the local labs.
