If it is too bad you will need an antibiotic.  In the mean time keep your hands and face very clean, wash often.  Don't touch your eyes, nose or mouth or it will spread like wild fire.  Good Luck.

The doctor told me all spider bites are dangerous, stapf infcetions and such.  You need to get in to see a doctor.  You need antibiotics.  I was bit by a brown recluse and it not any fun.  I have taken care of them at home, but it takes longer to get over them.  I did what the doctor did, I lanced it and kept neosporin on it.  You really do need antibiotics though to get ove it faster.

Garlic tabs and CLA.  Garlic is fairly cheap, so I would go that route.  It also boosts immune system, its great!

Sure.  Any soap made of natural ingredients will wash staph off your skin.  But the question is, why would you want to?  Staph is part of the normal, healthy person's environment; it belongs on your skin.  Problems only arise when staph - and there are hundreds of varieties of the staphylococcus organism - gets someplace it shouldn't be - like in your bloodstream. If that happens, you're in very serious trouble...it's called "septicemia" and it can kill you within hours!  If it does not do that, it can still cause profound difficulties such as interfering with heart function.  There is NO aternative or herbal "medicine" that is sufficient to remove staph from the bloodstream.\nDon't play games with your health, which means don't try to diagnose things like staph infections.  Only an MD can do that, and to be entirely accurate, she needs to have a medical laboratory perform certain blood studies such as a blood culture.  Ain't no "aternative practicioner" who has the education/expertise to diagnose staph infection!

i agree with nitehawk on this, in addition they should be using some higher antibiotics ...maybe tazobactam with piperacillin should help..\nand local antisepsis can be maintained with plain betadine bandages or powder in case of open wounds\nthe patient also should be monitored for septicemia...cuz that can be really dangerous in this patient.

It sounds similar to what we've been experiencing recently. My son's knee was hurting, but no swelling. The pain was excruciating and brought tears to his eyes when he was just using it. We found out that he had staph bacteria that had settled in his knee. We went to our family doctor who deals in natural medicine and he recommended some pills that took care of the pain and removed the staph. It worked a whole lot better than the prescription stuff doctors prescribe today. \nIf you're interested, I'll leave the email for this doctor. There may be similar doctors in your area. The company that deals with these pills is Standard Process out of Wisconsin. Everything they use is organically grown and is wonderful.\nI hope you get some relief soon!

probably clean it out with running water, use soap if available, if that is all you have.  Try to find a clean wrap, bandage or whatever you can find.\nGet yourself to a hospital.  If that is not possible, you hope you have a good immune system that will heal on it's own.

Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus: Staphylococcus aureus (a type of staph bacteria) resistant to the antibiotic methicillin. Abbreviated MRSA. MRSA infections are usually mild superficial infections of the skin that can be treated successfully with proper skin care and antibiotics. MRSA, however, can be difficult to treat and can progress to life-threatening blood or bone infections because there are fewer effective antibiotics available for treatment. \n\nIf someone has an MRSA infection, they can help from spreading it by keeping infections, particularly those that continue to produce pus or to drain material, covered with clean, dry bandages; by advising close contacts to wash their hands frequently with soap and warm water, especially if they change the bandages or touch the infected wound or potentially infectious materials; by not sharing personal items (such as towels, washcloth, razor, clothing) that may have had contact with the infected wound; by washing linens and clothes with hot water and laundry detergent and drying them in a hot dryer; and by telling healthcare providers that you have an antibiotic-resistant staph skin infection.  The transmission of MRSA is largely from people with active MRSA skin infections. MRSA is almost always spread by direct physical contact, and not through the air. Spread may also occur through indirect contact by touching objects (such as towels, sheets, wound dressings, clothes, workout areas, sports equipment) contaminated by the infected skin of a person with MRSA. Just as S. aureus can be carried on the skin or in the nose without causing any disease, MRSA can be carried in this way also. This is known as colonization.

The key to treating -- and preventing -- impetigo is good personal hygiene and a clean environment. Once the infection occurs, prompt attention will keep it under control and prevent its spread.\n\nA topical mupirocin ointment, available only by prescription, is highly successful in treating routine cases. Don't try over-the-counter antibacterial ointments; they are too weak to kill strep and staph infections, and applying the ointment carelessly may actually spread the impetigo. If mupirocin does not help in 48 hours, ask your doctor about an oral antibiotic such as Keflex or Zithromax.

if you want to try a home remedy, then monostat or canesten, you can use a solution of peroxide and water, equal parts. also plain yogurt insert and rubbed around outside of area, yogurt is a yeast based product so it mimics and ultimately kills the bacteria from infection.

Soak the sty with a warm water washcloth several times a day.  Keep it clean and make sure you wash your hands after touching the area.  A sty is usually caused by the  staphylococcus bacteria and can be contagious.\n\nGood Luck

Without medication will be tough if it is truly an infection, but drinking more clear fluids and a humidifier may help.  If you go with over the counter type medicine, try sudafed, afrin, and a pain reliever.  It may require an antibiotic though :(

Staph is a bacteria that naturally is on your skin (and even inside your body).   There are a number of reasons your Staph count could have increased to the point of being an infection.   The primary reason would be that you had a skin break (scratch or tear, etc.) inside your nose, and the bacteria multiplied there.\n\nBest of everything!

Yes. It was a staph infection. Have your doctor do a culture on the puss when it come to a head. I know this is very painful. My kids and I had reoccurring infections for two years until I TOLD my doctor to do a culture and the it came back MERSA. very resistant to most antibiotics. I then had a doctor prescribe an ointment call MUPIROCIN 2% (Bactoban) . You have to swab the inside of your nose twice a day for 10 days. Staph lives in your sinus passages. treat your whole family. This works.(+ prayer) we haven't had an infection for 3 years now . Praise the Lord!
