Avatar f tn all this went away for about a month. now it is back. im worried the mrsa is active again. does she need more antibiotics. i know mrsa is resistant to most antibiotics, but shouldnt you try them to see if they will work?
Avatar f tn I have not heard of Primacine for the treatment of MRSA, usually antibiotics such as Clindamycin(oral), Cephalexin(oral), Vancomycin(IV) there’s some other IV antibiotics besides Vanco that can be given Vanco is just the most common with the highest success rate. I must add washing with hot water is good however you can wash with not so hot water and always add liquid bleach. Keep a spray bottle of equal parts bleach/H2O to use on surfaces.
Avatar f tn You have to get on just the right antibiotics which may take several to get ride of the infection. Then to check if it is truly gone you can get a nose sawb test but you have have it checked twice or everytime you go to the hospital they will suiteup like you are some kind of nastey person they are afraid to touch. But MRSA is very easy to pass on to other people. Over look my spelling but I do know what I am talking about, my daughter is an RN that works in a large hospital.
Avatar f tn MEthicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus infection - is a form of infection which is resistant to most of antibiotics used currently, there is limited number of antibiotics that actually treat it amongst which are Vancomycin, Clindamycin and etc. It is a very serious disease, If a patient is diagnosed with it he should strictly follow the dosing schedule of the preparations and never forget a dosage as the whole treatment might be ineffective after it.
Avatar f tn She is better now, however she did not have mrsa. Is that a separate infection that is not related to the pneunomia? Is it related to an open wound? Hopefully someone will chime in on this, but the more information you give the better the answer you will get.
Avatar m tn Thought it was acne but the culture showed otherwise. She cannot take antibiotics well. Is there a holistic topical treatment that will help?
Avatar f tn There are a couple of antibiotics that are new that are for resistant strains of MRSA. The problem is some of these antibiotics can ruin your hearing and kidneys. So, the doctor may be trying to save these. If all else failed then they would give it to you (if it became totally life threatening or got into your blood). But you can let me know what antibiotics they have used and I can take a look. So, it does sound like you have been very diligent in handling the Staph.
441951 tn?1275762988 d like to drop kick your doctor for giving you 4 rounds of penicillin based antibiotics knowing the infection was resistant to it. MRSA is nothing to fool around with and if it can get into your blood stream and cause serious problems. CoWriter was spot on about how you should get this resolved (she's pretty smart about the medical stuff) and I hope very soon for your sake. Good Luck and feel better soon.
Avatar f tn If it was Mrsa it would be a whole lot worse than that. Antibiotics often work quickly but also can create the conditions for a repeat of an infection and chronic problems because they also kill off the beneficial organisms that protect us from disease. This might have happened in your case.
Avatar f tn Well, your results will be interesting. You can have an infection that isn't MRSA or staph. My only experience with staph was my son who did get a nasty staph infection from a small rug burn type of injury on his leg at school. He bandaged it himself after showing it to me and I didn't really worry about it. A week later, wowza. It was a festering crater. We went to the doctor who gave a topical antibiotic cream.
Avatar n tn Go get the test its simple and they can put you on the right antibiotics but above all else if you suspect MRSA, avoid touching the kids. Kids can carry MRSA in their noses without ever getting it. But if you have it you can give it to them, wash your hands alot, spray the phone with lysol after you use it, keep your feet covered. The symptoms rang, I had sores on my face, I had a huge abscess on my forehead which had mega amount of puss in it. I am permantely scared .
Avatar f tn I have been on antibiotics for six days for a nasil staph infection now the bridge of my nose is tingling.the pain is all gone but I still have a small opening inside my nose and it is still red inside and it swells and then the swelling goes down through out the day. Why is my nose tingling?
1488562 tn?1288826355 What kind of doctor has been treating you for your infections all summer? It seems to me that a case of MRSA would call for the best antibiotic treatment they can come up with, especially if it is in your lungs. I don't know if a GI will treat it because GI stands for gastro-intestinal, and none of your infections are in that part of the body. You may need an infectious disease doctor.
Avatar m tn Eight days ago I woke up with an abscess on my leg in the groin area, opposite of my testicles. My wife and I promptly went to the doctor and it turned out to be a mrsa infection. The sore was drained of puss and I have been antibiotics taking them on time and will continue to take them on time until they are gone. My question is: what should we do so that we can continue to have sex without transferring the bacteria to my wife?
1415174 tn?1453243103 This Staph can become resistant to multiple antibiotics. It is also referred to as MRSA short for Methicillin Resistant Staph aureus. Methicillin is one type of antibiotic. So it is possible that he had a resistant strain of staph or a toxin caused by a Strep. Did you find out the type of bacteria? They can do a culture or molecular test of the skin infection to determine what type of bacteria it is.
Avatar f tn Hello, my boyfriend, who lives in another country, has been sick for a few weeks. It started with what seemed to be a cold or flu, but he has been getting worse. His throat has been very sore. A couple weeks ago a doctor gave him antibiotics without doing a test, the prescription was for 5 days, unfortunately he doesn't remember which antibiotic it was. His throat was still hurting and he said he could see pus, so I told him he should get tested for strep.
Avatar m tn If you have MRSA, then you may need oral or intravenous antibiotics which are susceptible to the infection. For this it can be determined by microbiological techniques done in a lab regarding which antibiotic(s) can kill the MRSA and use it alone or, more often, in combination with additional antibiotics to treat the infection. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar n tn My friend is 43 yrs old hispanic male, who has been dianosed with gram negative toe infection. He has this for the past 5 yrs. I would like to know is their a cure for this? Or a study out there that he can participate. Please help.
1467965 tn?1288901625 There is a variant known as community-associated (CA-) MRSA infections vs. the more traditional healthcare-associated (HA-) MRSA infections, CA-MRSA can be treated with more drugs than HA-MRSA including to sulfa drugs, tetracyclines and clindamycin. CA-MRSA is typically associated with skin and wound infections, In the UK, it is called Golden Staph.
Avatar m tn Your sister has taken many antibiotics and antifungals but they have provided little help. In that case, the best treatment is incision and drainage followed by a round of general antibiotics which in turn is followed by specific antibiotics or antifungals after the reports of pus/ blood sample of the effected site specify whether it is bacterial or fungal infection.
Avatar m tn I then have been on 2 antibiotics since and the infection is in decline. Seems the greatest effect on this MRSA/or similar infection is the Chamomile Oil. Could this be a possible help in the fight against this tricky infection??
Avatar n tn I had acinetobacter infection for four months afterwards. Antibiotics did not help. I finally cleared the infection in my sinuses with alternative medicines. I have had swellings beneath both eyes, and discharge from both since the surgery. I have had a sty in one eye for over a year. My monocyte count has been consistently around 12-13. An opthlmologist has told me I do not have an eye infection. He says the discharge is just mucous. He has not seen it.
Avatar n tn t aways have pus but usually is treated with antibiotics. Since it was not MRSA it sounds like the right antibiotics were given to you (clindamycin). It takes months for this to go away sometimes. Be sure to keep the towels, and wash rags , any clothes that come in contact with it very clean so as to not reinfect yourself. It you get a fever again and/or pus I would revisit the doctor.
Avatar f tn Re: MRSA treatment. A failed total hip arthoplasty revision developed mrsa and caused hugh cysts in my leg and groin. After surgery and large open wounds, I was on vancomycin home IV for 8 wks but developed a rash. Now have finished 2 yrs on daily antibiotic (minocycline and levaquin).
