Culture positive?: My first question would be was this cultured and found to be positive for mrsa? If so then there are some very specific guidelines for treatment. Single drug therapy is not recommended. If you have culture positive MRSA and are not getting better with one med then you really need to see someone who can treat appropriately. Doxy can be used but it is not usually the best. Cipro (ciprofloxacin) is not on the list.
