Now he told what it is and I will tell you she will always have this issue. At the moment it may in the acute phase where it is acutally making her sick. Once the anitbiotics kick in adn get the little bug under control usally 10 to 14 days of IV therapy, then they should be able to operate. additionaly she will always have this little bug, and everytime she is in the hospital will be placed on isolation because of it.

to me it just looks like u hav an infection which is resistant to this particular antibiotic, and u might need to change the drug.consult your doctor for further advice on which antibiotic to use.usually symptoms decrease in intensity within 1-2 days and vanish in 5-7.

I`ve never heard of it being one, but I suppose it depends to what degree the MRSA affected you. It can be serious in invading an open wound, taking ages for it to heal. It could drag you down quite a bit if the infected area was bad.

Your urologist has probably treated this condition previously and knows the necessary dosing period.\n\nMost infections only require a couple weeks of treatment, hence 10-14 days.  Unless prescribed by a physician you shouldn't take an antibiotic for extended periods.

There is also VRE, VRSA, and a new strain of C-Diff that is resistant to flagyl (the antibiotic usually used to treat c-diff)

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.

MRSA means that the bacteria is resistant to antibiotics.\nFurther cultures should be obtained to find out exactly which antibiotics your particular strain of MRSA responds to.\nUnfortunately there are some that have no antibiotics available\nThe reason we have these type of SUPERBUGS is because of people who do not finish the course of antibiotics prescribed for them because they feel better and it makes the germs resistent to the antibiotics.

Sed Rate range differ depending on gender and age.  The best thing for you to do is talk to your doctor about your concerns. Wounds with mrsa that have closed are difficult to detect if the mrsa is gone.  I work in a facility and deal with mrsa from time to time. There are different types of mrsa. from the lungs to the urine. I asked one of our doctors about mrsa in the wound and how someone can tell if the mrsa is gone and she told me that there is no 100% way of knowing. Usually when the wound closes and the patient has been treated properly with antibiotic (usually vancomycin) it is considered to be treated. If the wound heals with no signs and symptoms of infection (no swelling or redness) then there is no infection.  She also told me that everyone has a small amount of mrsa in the body. It is the level of mrsa that the person needs treated.  If his red blood cell count is low and iron is down it might be good to have him on an iron deficiency otc med. He might be anemic.  The best advice I can give you is ask your family physician and also your surgical doctor of your concerns. This is also why they get paid.  I hope I helped you in some way.

With the majority of both topical and oral acne treatments, you will generally see the condition get worse before it gets better. The key to success with any treatment is to use it for at least 6 weeks before you decide that it is not for you. It sounds as if the bacteria near the upper-most surface of your skin is being affected by the ingredients in the product that you are using (hence the pus).

Depending upon the curing system, it should take about 7-11 minutes. I know this is not very helpful.

MRSA is a serious but treatable infection.  Your doctor has probably already had susceptibility tests performed to see which antibiotics are bioavailable -- a fancy term for effective.  Most MRSA infections can be treated with clindamycin, tetracycline, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, vancomycin, or a combination.  The most important things to remember are to wash your hands often and to keep your hands away from your eyes and nose.

Your doctor may suggest that you wait 48 hours before giving your child antibiotics, because most ear infections clear up on their own. One study showed that a "wait-and-see" approach cut the use of antibiotics by 76%. The majority of parents were satisfied with the results.

Treat the MRSA with Tea Tree oil and be done with it. I have gotten rid of MRSA in my sons hip after surgery and 2 people on here that have listened. As long as it is not a internal infection it will die with the oil. Medical grade or better only, test on a small area of the skin to check for irritation, if irritation occurs dilute with a little olive oil, a very low concentration can kill MRSA.

30 days until it clears your system totally. If it is still in your urine, it will still be in your saliva.

Usually due to a fungal infection. Topical treatments at the drugstore aren't likely to work. See your doctor for a systemic antifungal medication. Just so you know - you will likely have to take this medication for 2-3 months to clear up the infection.

No, it is a bacterial infection that usually goes away on its own within a few days, and if it doesn't, you need to see a doctor. Otherwise, the best thing to do is to put a warm compress on it for 5 - 10 minutes about 4 times a day.
