Christi,

Maggie cultured MRSA when she was 2 and a couple months. First she was treated with Bactrim, which didn't really do much, after a couple of rounds of that, we put her on Zyvox for 2 weeks(orally). Zyvox worked great for MRSA but it is a very strong anti. She would start up coughing again after coming off the Zyvox; eventually she did get admitted for IV Vanco. She has needed a couple more rounds of Zyvox but not for close to 2 years, phew. She is on Bactrim prophylactically, from that exacerbation. Once the MRSA is knocked down; she has a baseline of no cough. HTH.
