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.

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.

It's never good to take antibiotics without first seeing a doctor, if it's not the right one for the job, you are strengthening the bad organisms.  Not good.\nIf you are trying to avoid going to the doctor, I'd try an epsom salt soak or hot compress several times a day for a couple of days to draw out the puss.  Also clean it with a half and half mixture of iodine/peroxide for a couple of days if you can, then peroxide alone for a couple of times, and keep triple-antibiotic ointment (Neosporin) on it at all times for three or so days with a bandage.  DON'T PICK AT IT!  It'll take a while but it will heal.\nStaph infections will heal, but the staph always remains in your body in one form or another after that  Keep this thing clean; salts heal, iodine/peroxide is sterile, triple-antibiotic heals and prevents.\nTake better care of yourself.

depending on the type of infection the OTC may not work.  if you have insurance they should over the RX - the dr may have to call them for the authorization/override though!

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.

I would get a new doctor or see an OB GYN to get a different approach.  Your doctor should be able to give you prescription cream that is stronger than over-the-counter.  Also once your infection is treated, wash your underwear in hot water..and always wear cotton.

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!

Wild Mountain oregano oil taken straight.  Get the North American Herb and Spice brand or Vitality works in a bottle. No capsules, because you want it to go to work right away on the affected area. They are both good.  Studies have shown it is as effective as prescription antibiotics for strep.  Oregano oil is very strong so be prepared to chase it down with a little water.  I take about 5 drops 2 X daily for something like this. NOTE: Check out the second link I have attached. It talks about how studies have shown it to be effective on strep.   You can buy Vitality works at iherb.com for $14.00 a bottle.  Health food stores charge up to $80.00 a bottle for North American Herb and Spice brand.) You can save yourself a little money and it is just as good. Good Luck!

How old is your son? (Could be "mono" if he's a teenager). Did they do any throat/NP cultures? Any respiratory symptoms? What was the differential cell count? This time of year (depending on where you live) respiratory viruses get started. If it is a virus, antibiotics won't help. If it's something like strep throat or "walking pneumonia" then antibiotics will kick it pretty quickly. Could also be a secondary bacterial infection following a viral infection. Just make sure he takes the whole course of the antibiotics - failure to do so is one of the leading causes of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Good luck!!

IF you have been diagnosed by a doctor, he/she should have prescribed something. If it doesn't work he/she tries another. I suggest you see another doctor.

Registered Nurse here; Yes Dear it is very possible it could be MRSA, in fact the odds are that it is MRSA.  For MRSA is sweeping this country as we speak.  Also the number one place to acquire MRSA is THE HOSPITAL.  That's right, it is the hospital.  Now if it is MRSA, chances are the antibiotic your on will have no effect on infection.  For with MRSA our resources for antibiotics are very limited and require a culture and sensitivity report from the laboratory to find out which antibiotic will work on the strain of infection you have.  Please see your surgeon immediately.  If it's not MRSA, That's Great, if it is YOU NEED TO BE ON THE RIGHT ANTIBIOTIC NOW.  \nThanks for the opportunity to address this question.  I have had 4 outbreaks since April of this year of MRSA.  Believe me hun, make that trip to the Doctor.

You can't.  If you really have step then antibiotics is the only answer.  Strep is not something to play around with.  You can have serious consequences if you let strep go untreated.

Get a new doctor.\n\nCoach

Always finish a course of antibiotics, and do as the doctor recommends. If you stop taking antibiotics, because you are feeling better or feel that you don't have the need to take it, it will result in stronger bacteria and therefore your infection will persist and will be harder to fix the next time. Also drink lots of water and cranberry juice. So, please finish the course of antibiotics.

First, I'll address MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylcoccus aureus).  S. aurues is a common organism.  One-third of the U.S. population carries this organism within their nares.  About 1% of the U.S. population carries MRSA within their nares (roughly 3 million people), although higher carriage rates may vary with region and population base.  Colonization with MRSA does not equate to infection, and colonization can be harmless.  Also, there has been a delineation within the last several years between typical hospital-acquired MRSA and a newer community-acquired MRSA.  The latter form has been associated with greater virulence due to certain toxins.  There have been many reported cases of young healthy individuals presented with overwhelming pneumonia and sepsis due to community-acquired MRSA, but this is a minority.\n\nS. aureus is spread through contact with a person infected or colonized with the organism, although contact does not necessarily mean you will become infected or colonized.  Simple hygiene (ie, handwashing) is most important to prevent transmission.  Because someone else in your family has a MRSA infection, does not mean you should not go near them.  Please continue to visit and associate with your family as you always have.  It sounds as if many people in your family have problems with Staphylococcal infection, and you have probably been exposed numerous times over.\n\nWhen does MRSA cause a problem?  Several host and bacterial factors determine when MRSA becomes pathogenic.  Some bacterial factors include the ability to produce certain toxins.  Host factors include defects in skin barrier or underlying immune suppression (such as the treatment of lupus, but not lupus itself).\n\nHow do you know if your infected? What can you do?  S. aureus typically causes skin and skin structure infections such as cellulitis and furunculosis (eg, boils).  Other infections such as pneumonia are much less common.  If you develop signs of skin inflammation, it IS important to report to your doctor about exposure to MRSA.  If antibiotics are required, knowledge of exposure to MRSA can assist with prescribing appropriate empiric therapy.  Lastly, if you (or your family members) experience problems with recurrent "Staph" infections, there are a few measures which may help decrease colonization (but does not guarantee elimination of colonization or prevent re-colonization).  These factors include: use of mupirocin (Bactroban) ointment applied within the nares twice daily for 7 days and intermittent use of chlorhexidine soap applied to whole body during showering or bathing (at least twice a week).  Other factors reported by some to help include: aggressive cleaning of clothes and bedding at the beginning of the above cycle and bleach baths (1/2 cup of bleach in a full tub of water, soak for 30 min once a week).
