bactroban
( Do you know anything that will help me rid myself of this mrsa mess!!! I will be going in to the Dr. tomm to see about bactroban for my nose. I use dial regularly & keep a clean & disinfected home! ***** but I'm not gonna let it ruin my life. I have 3 beautiful sons & a loving Husband. All gifts from God! Any thing you can tell me I would appreciate. Again Thank You for all you do!
I work in an outpatient surgery center. We have never had a MRSA case but the Dr.'s are increasingly concerned about the rise in MRSA cases nationally. We are contemplating changing our prep to include betadine solution diluted with sterile saline placed in the cul-de-sac and left for 30 seconds. Any input?
If those things are not the problem you may have resistance to the antibiotic they gave you. The treatment for community acquired MRSA (if you have that) is now daptomycin plus tigecycline. Otherwise, you can get resistance and the staph grows back. Also, once they treat you bleach down the sink and wash bedding and clean any areas that might have come in contact. Even disinfect your bike seat and don't go to the gym. You can get it there unless you are very careful.
Generally no treatment is required but they become painful then it means they are infected,Then surgical excision by traditional wide excision, minimal excision, and punch biopsy excision may be required. This is followed by a course of oral antibiotics.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
You need to get her into doctor as it could be MRSA but in any case it is highly contagious and she will need antibiotics for it. Try to not share towels and wash anything in contact with it in hot soapy water. Wash hands frequently. Try to keep her hands off of it.
I have been to 3 different ENTs, one tested me for staph - came back moderate staph (not MRSA) and took Keflex for 10 days-no improvement. Tested again 5 days after last culture and came back negative. Said I should use Bacitracin for a year as Bactroban burned.
(I am allergic to all antibiotics but 2 and most other drugs-happens over time)
2nd ENT said Bacitracin irritates and easy to get allergic to it. Already allergic to Neosporin.
ENT said I had some colonies in nose soUsed Bacrtoban for 3 days and slight pain in my nose went away per ENT. I stopped the bactroban after 3 days because I was not sleeping but I was also using Nasocort and maybe that was the culprit.
Cold gone sinus not infected but having some pain that feels like a tooth ache and slight tickle or sting in nostrils when breathing. Left septum is a little enlarged.
I have had 4 FESS over the years and was just diagnosed with MRSA in my sinuses. My MD started me on Bactrum 800 mg BID for 3 weeks and Bactroban nasal solution. I do sinus washes often and have increased recently. Any other suggestions?
Follow the package insert. And see if they go away. Mupirocin (Bactroban) topical will also kill MRSA (I think this is prescription only). So there are lots of topicals that can kill it if you actually got it. They probably would give you an oral pill if you are not allergic to sulfa drugs Bactrim works and many other antibiotics. So try not to worry just because it could be MRSA. I think you just have pimples.
Hi, has there been any research in the effectiveness of this oil on skin infections such as MRSA? My Dad has had confirmed MRSA. I have had a bad infection in my finger, from a cut, and Mum now has a Sty in the eye. I have been using various Antibiotics and Bactroban cream. As the infection is clearing up I have switched to using Chamomile Oil. I had used it for a day before all the antibiotics and it had quite a positive effect. I ran out of this oil and the infection worsened.
This is going on five weeks now, and Im not getting any better. The MRSA swab came back negative and the blood test didn’t show much. Somebody please help me!! This has really affected my life and career and nobody in Australia seems to know how to cure this. Thank you…..
Has anyone been able to fight this off with hep-c.My sis just found out she has mrsa and staph pneunomia.She is now in isolation! can you fight this with a bad case of hep-c?
Saw my PMD yesterday morning, he diagnosed it as folliculitis and is concerned about CA-MRSA b/c one of the tiny bumps got red and swollen, so he took a swab. So I've been taking for the past 36 hours: Augentin BID (allergic to Bactrim), Pepcid BID, Atarax TID, Bactroban ointment to the spots I scratched open BID as well as my daily meds (Synthroid 50mcg ad omeprazole 20mg). New spots are popping up everywhere--forearms, underarms, back, stomach, buttocks..and the itching is worse!
Also found out she had MRSA also then I got it. Went too the Gas. specialist doctor. She told me MRSA goes away with in a year. I do not know if this is true. I have not had any major infections or break outs. Keep my skin pretty clean and cuts covered. The doctor said i look like I healed up pretty good. But with the hep c will the MSRA be in the way preventing me from taking the medication for hep c? My viral overload count is low. Just have to do the biopsy.

My daughter who is just graduated high school has had 4 cases of MRSA in the last 12 months. She was last treated with a nasal antibiotic; twice daily for 5 days. While cleaning her room I found 3 unused doses... will this make the treatment less effective & can the MRSA return? She also wants to get her belly button pierced which I think is unwise given her recent health history. Am I overreacting & what are the potential health risks?
