My son has MRSA by his ear from a cut he got at a park. He has been on antibiotics for 3 days plus ointment and I kept it covered with a bandage. It looks much better, but I woke up with a hoarse voice. I did not sleep last night and talked a lot yesterday more than normal. Could I have MRSA in my throat?

I had 3 days of faintly positive urine betas followed by one regular positive urine beta in the evening. The next morning, two negative urine betas. I am also experiencing left lower quadrant and left flank pain for a few days, which is intermittent, sharp, and squeezing. My last menstrual period was on February 24, and my cycles are pretty regular, averaging 33 days. I am not on any birth control methods and am actively trying to conceive. My period was due on March 29. What could this be (chemical vs. ectopic pregnancy), and what are the next steps?
