A member asked:
Been on flucloxacillin for infected daith piercing, finished course but piercing still painful when touched & behind ear still hurting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infected ext ear: This needs to be looked at and perhaps cultured. If MRSA isolated then flucoloxacillin will be ineffective, and you may have to remove the stud and treat with another drug to cure this. Go and see your family doctor.
