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. will this cure him?

Maybe: The lancing may cure the issue more than the med. I have not found that med very helpful with MRSA, as cross resistance is common, but it might help. Clindomycin or Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) will usually kill the MRSA germ.
