I would imagine the whole ear, and if an infection spreads from the throat to the ear, then you should really get that checked.

Can MRSA show up in throat cultures?
Most MRSA infections are skin infections. One major problem with MRSA is that occasionally the skin infection can spread to almost any other organ in the body. When this happens, more severe symptoms develop ranging from illness to death. People with pneumonia (lung infection) due to MRSA can transmit MRSA by airborne droplets so obviously MRSA can be present in their throats and would show up in a throat culture. It is not necessarily the case that it would ALWAYS or even USUALLY show up in a throat culture of someone infected with MRSA. The infection would have to either have spread there from somewhere else, or picked up directly in the throat by contact with something contaminated with MRSA - like aerosol droplets from the cough of an infected person or having an infected body part stuck in their mouth or throat.

Yes. People who are told that they have frequent "strep throats" most commonly are asymptomatic carriers of the Streptococcus organism which causes the infection. In these people, your physician may ask you to come back after being treated to make sure the infection is cured - to make sure the bacteria are killed and a strep test becomes negative.

Why does a lymph gland infection in the groin area cause a fever?
You probably have it backward. Typically, a lymph gland becomes inflamed because it is part of the front line defense against infection. When you become infected, your lymph gland produces the antibodies necessary to clear the infection. You have a fever because there is an infection SOMEWHERE ELSE. You might need to talk to your doctor.
Where are the tonsils found?
The tonsils are two small, rounded masses of glandular tissue located on either side of the throat. The tonsils are part of the lymphoid system, and produce infection-fighting antibodies against bacteria and viruses entering through the throat. You can usually see the tonsils by looking into your child's throat using a flashlight.
