Yes: Mrsa is usually curable with specific antibiotics. It may depend on where the infection is, how soon it was diagnosed, how healthy your son is, and other factors. The chances are very good that your son will be ok. Best wishes.

Have never lost one: Mrsa is responsible for more than half the routein pustules i drain in my office every year & none have ever become significantly ill. The media facination & overblown coverage aside, this represents a simple problem that should clear up quickly.Monitor your kids progress & stay in touch with your physician.Occasionally, the site must be drained & sometimes more than once.
