?MRSA: It sounds like you have mastitis. Failure to respond to Dicloxacillin suggests you might be infected with methacillin resistant staphylococcus aureus. Being pregnant you should not take trimethoprim/sulfa or tetracyclines. A possible choice would be Clindamycin that is usually effective against MRSA and is considered safe to take during pregnancy.
