Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Staphylococcal Infection
What can I ask doctor for to help fight this? Last dermy have tetracycline but that doesn't cure.
MRSA susceptibility, antibiotic empiric cover, debridement if necessary
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
Empirically antimicrobial therapy cover all likely pathogens in the context of the clinical setting, till susceptibility reports are available for which samples should be taken before therapy is initiated
Topical mupirocin, chlorhexidine gluconate washes, and oral rifampin plus doxycycline for 7 days can be a good empiric regimen.
Recently community-acquired MRSA infections that have been susceptible to various non–beta-lactam antibiotics. As such, patients with serious staphylococcal infections should be initially started on agents active against MRSA until susceptibility results are available.
Adequate antiseptic measures and wound drainage/debridement should be carried out if necessary, in combination with the antibiotics. If its a recurrent infection then systemic antibiotics should also be used in addition to topical ones.
Please consult your doctor before taking any medication
Let me know if you have any query
wishing you best of health
