Hi i did review your concern
But if the MRSA infection has been adequately treated there is no need to worry about. MRSA or for any other staphylococcus stays in nose as a carrier in some patients and the best way to avoid transmiission is frequent hand washing with soap and water or alcohol based sanitizers after handling or touching the teen. Keeping yourself clean and eating a healthy diet always will always go long way in preventing an infection of any sort.
I hope this helps
Let me know if you have any more questions or concerns.
Wish you all the best.
