It's good that you are receiving care for the condition as it sounds like it could be MRSA, a staph type bacterial infection that is very resistant to most antibiotics. Symptoms as you had described, usually die down a bit or don't improve then hit with a vengeance and they then usually have to bring in the antibiotic "big guns" out to get ahead of it. It can get dangerous if not caught asap. The delimma is that the doctors do not want to use such strong antibiotics as they are running out of types that can still beat down these new, very resistant strains. Hope you get well soon.
