the ent does care but mrsa (assuming he has a community-acquired type and not the more-severe hospital type) is very challenging to treat. you can ask for an infectious disease consultation but your ent may be doing the best that can be done. you can also ask to see another ent for a second opinion. sometimes we have no idea where the infection came from but we do know it came from people. some people are carriers and do not know it. some kids get it in day-care now. i can understand your frustrations so the only thing you can do is try to get his evaluation and treatment to a higher level but getting a second opinion or adding an infectious disease specialist to the treatment team.
what can a mom do to get their child with mrsa in ear better. his ent is not doing much. its been ongoing for 4 months. . my 20 month old son with ear tubes is battling mrsa in his ear for 4 months. we have done massive amount of antibiotics his ent doctor says that he thinks the last chance we have is to remove his ear tube and replace it as well as remove his adenoids. im really worried that with the mrsa still present inside the ear if it is ok to have him go into surgery. how could he gotten mrsa in the first place. there has been puss coming out of my sons right ear for 4 months. his ent doesn't seem to care.
