[QUOTE="tryinghard, post: 174965, member: 4570"] BOY DO I KNOW ABOUT THIS!! My daughter has had it twice and my son is on antibiotics right now for his second round. We believe his last round of staph (Feb 08) is what triggered his Type One Diabetes in March. You MUST go to the doctor and insist that they test the fluid for MRSA. If you do not test it, you do not know what it is resistant too, and they can give you the wrong antibiotic and it will grow and grow and could cause a lot of damage or worse... If you have it more than twice you MUST be tested as a carrier. If you are a carrier, you must go to an infectious disease doctor to get special treatment. Do NOT let a doctor down play how serious staph infections can be. Obviously, the majority are not life threatening but these things are mutating so quickly you can never be too cautious. My pediatrian lectured me and told me that I should have come in immediately when it looked like the pimple on my son's nose was not healing and could have been staph. He said it is too close to the brain. He gave him two antibiotic shots and told me to go directly to ER with any fever, confustion, swollen eyes....And this doctor doesn't not jump at every little aliment. I knew it was serious when he told me all this. [/QUOTE]
