Good answer peacepatriot, I use that as well as colloidal silver 500ppm, olive leaf extract, & grapefruit seed extract. Go to herbalhealer.com and become a member(its free). Then you can consult online with a naturopathic doctor who has helped me many times over the years she is the best.

Keep in contact with your doctor, sometimes the antibiotic they give you the first time doesn't work on the problem, and they have to try something else. If you trust your doctor and the problem still exists, and the condition continues to have your face swollen, like mumps, asked to be referred to an Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist.\n\nGood Luck

It seems like your brother has an infection of some sort, but I'm not sure from what.\n\nIt's unlikely that it's a bacterial infection, since he's already on antibiotics, so it might be either a serious viral infection, a fungal infection, or worse like a tick or spider bite.\n\nIn any case, make sure his doctor has given him the most thorough blood test available, along with checkups as often as possible.\n\nAs for you, try entering his symptoms into the symptom checker function at WebMd.com and see which illness he is most likely to have.\n\nI will pray for him.

He probably has MRSA. There are several antibiotics that can be used. Don't worry. Take him to a Children's Hospital if your Dr. claims that he cannot help.

I have no idea, but I would see a doc if it continues.  One thing I have learned:  nothing is too embarassing for doctors--they have seen it all and I am sure that they will not view this as embarassing, but certainly annoying and can prescribe something for you.  Good luck!

Everyone has staph on them. Its a common bacteria.\n\nYou can avoid the infection by practicing clean technique. Use gloves, wash your hands a lot, avoid touching your face and eyes, don't share food, utensils or clothing. Frequently wash surfaces that come in contact with patient. Use disposable dishes, etc.\n\nCheck with your doctor to see if you need to be started on antibiotic treatment as a precaution.\n\nCheck with your local Red Cross for their home caregiving course.\n\nRead more below.

get a different doctor, this should be resolved with the appropiate antibiotics. A culture and sensitivity test of your urine will tell what antibiotic works.

You have to prove the infection was caused by the metal. Since one was OK, why would the other one not be?\n\nIf you are young and will have permanent damage caused by the infection, any personal injury lawyer will take your case.\n\nIf you are old or retired, they may not consider it worth their time. Then you may have to pay a lawyer a retainer to take your case.\n\nOr you can send the hospital a letter explaining what happened and what you want them to do about it. They'll turn it over to their insurance company and will tell you if they will compensate you or not. You'll get a third more if you have a lwyer, but the lawyer will take a third.

The best way to see what antibiotic is best is to get a UA (urine analysis) done.  They'll culture it and decide which antibiotic will clear it up.  Only your doctor can do this and it's the best way to find out what will work for you.  Sometimes antibiotics alone won't do it.  Make sure you're drinking TONS of water, the best defense :)

Definitely talk to your physician again, it sounds like you still might have an infection.\n\nHave you all ready been prescribed antibiotics and finished the entire prescription?\n\nIf you haven't you need to do that, and if you have, you may need a stronger antibiotic. So, you really need to speak to your physician. Also, make sure to drink plenty of water and cranberry juice(which is good for the kidneys).\n\nGood luck! \nHope you feel better!

M.R.S.A can only be caught through direct contact with any of your grans bodily fluids for eg her urine, blood, etc, and u have any open wounds.  \nIt is also wise to wear a plaster on any cuts and grazes just to be safe.  \n\nyou can buy a pocket anti-bacterial spray for your hands which will also help to kill any bacteria that u may of picked up. this is the one i use for work as i work with the elderly:-\nMatron Antibacterial Spray for MRSA Lemon/Mint Fragrance 50ml\nIndependent tests have shown Matron bio handwash gel kills MRSA, MSSA, E-Coli, Salmonella and Strepococcus bacteria on your hands and provide an effective barrier without using water \n\nYour children should be safe to vist yoyour gran.  If ur that concerned i would advise u to speak to your doctor for there advice\n\nYou can also find some information on the Internet i have found some information that my be of some use:-\n\nWhat is MRSA?\n\nThe organism Staphylococcus aureus is found on many individuals skin and seems to cause no major problems. However if it gets inside the body, for instance under the skin or into the lungs, it can cause important infections such as boils or pneumonia. Individuals who carry this organism are usually totally healthy, have no problems whatever and are considered simply to be carriers of the organism.\n\nThe term MRSA or methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus is used to describe those examples of this organism that are resistant to commonly used antibiotics. Methicillin was an antibiotic used many years ago to treat patients with Staphylococcus aureus infections. It is now no longer used except as a means of identifying this particular type of antibiotic resistance.\n\nIndividuals can become carriers of MRSA in the same way that they can become a carrier of ordinary Staphylococcus aureus which is by physical contact with the organism. If the organism is on the skin then it can be passed around by physical contact. If the organism is in the nose or is associated with the lungs rather than the skin then it may be passed around by droplet spread from the mouth and nose. We can find out if and where Staphylococcus aureus is located on a patient by taking various samples, sending them to the laboratory and growing the organism. Tests done on any Staphylococcus aureus grown from such specimens can then decide how sensitive the organisms is to antibiotics and if it is a methicillin resistant (MRSA) organism. These test usually take 2-3 days.\n\n \nWhy bother with MRSA?\n\nMRSA organisms are often associated with patients in hospitals but can also be found on patients not in a hospital. Usually it is not necessary to do anything about MRSA organisms. However if MRSA organisms are passed on to someone who is already ill, then a more serious infection may occur in that individual. When patients with MRSA are discovered in a hospital, the hospital will usually try to prevent it from passing around to other patients. This is known as infection control.\n\n \nHow do we prevent the spread of MRSA?\n\nMeasures to prevent the spread of organisms from one person to another are called isolation or infection control. The type of infection control or isolation required for any patient depends on the organism, where the organisms is found on an individual and the patient.\n\nThe most important type of isolation required for MRSA is what is called Contact Isolation. This type of isolation requires everyone in contact with the patient to be very careful about hand washing after touching either the patient or anything in contact with the patient. If the organism is in the nose or lungs it may also be necessary to have the patient in a room to prevent spread to others by droplet spread. Because dust and surfaces can become contaminated with the organism, cleaning of surfaces are also important. This usually occurs after the patient leaves the hospital.\n\nIf a number of patients are infected with the same organism it is possible to nurse them in t

Simple...ALL antibiotics that we use to treat bacterial infections and ifestations come from fungi themselves. It's just natural that fungi will have a resistance to these antibiotics that they release.\n\nA rather different approach must be used to stop fungal infection and proliferation not because they have a "tougher" cell wall or because they are eukaryotes--these things are more trivial than what people think. The difficulty in treating them is how to disintegrate their nucleic acid property (DNA) using a particular chemical without compromising the infected individual (i.e. you cannot just use acid to treat fungus in your skin or else you'll damage your skin also).

I'm not sure about infection, but antibiotics can do it.

You might just have allergies, but I'm sure the doctor must have considered that and told you to try Benadryl, Claritin, or Allegra at some point.\n\nAntibiotics are appropriate if you have a bacterial sinusitis.  The particular bacteria might be resistant to whatever antibiotics they gave you.  You would need a culture of your snot to determine this.\n\nUltimately though, the problem probably started with poor sinus drainage.  Even with appropriate antibiotics, the problem will recur if the sinus drainage issue isn't resolved.  In the short term, Sudafed would probably help.  I don't like the idea of using Sudafed for more than a couple of weeks though.  If you have allergies exacerbating the situation (do you have a history of seasonal allergies, or any new pets?), then Benadryl or non-sedating Claritin would help.  For really bad cases, I know of a doctor that swears by the Neti pot (he uses it himself).  It's like a little watering pot for plants.  You fill it up with water or saline and pour it into your nose.  Basically you're physically cleaning out your sinus openings.\n\nIf there is a possibility you're allergic to something, I would try Claritin and the Neti pot first for 3 days and see if the symptoms improve.  If you don't think it's an allergy, try Sudafed + Neti pot.  If that doesn't do it, I would go back to the doctor and try another antibiotic together with the Sudafed + Neti pot.  VERY IMPORTANT: IF THE INFECTION SPREADS--YOUR CHEEK BECOMES RED AND PAINFUL OR IT HURTS TO MOVE AN EYE--GO STRAIGHT TO THE ER.  Sinusitis is normally just an inconvenience, not a serious health problem.  It can sometimes spread, however, and cause cellulitis in your cheek or an orbital abscess in your eye socket--both very serious conditions.

No, antibiotics do not work on Viral infections.  Maybe the Dr. is concerned about a secondary infection of some sort.  Call his office and ask them.
