My doctor recommends me taking this shot for a common cold. Is this correct, I have been told it is not for that?

I am being treated for MRSA received in the hospital after surgery. I had to have another surgery 3 1/2 weeks after my surgery to clean the area out. Now my husband has to give me an infusion of this every day for at least 6 weeks. CDC is involved and sends out one week's supply for us and they are the ones that will need to clear me. This rates down pretty low in my estimate!

My baby 14 month old daughter had this shot. She grabbed the needle from the nurse and we had to pry it from her tiny fingers! Then she had to start over on the other leg. It was diluted w/ lidocaine. I think at least for children they should freeze the area before the shot. It was very painful, but effective. She was also given Tamiflu and Zithromax as well.
