Suggest Remedy For Staph Infection In Eye
Hi my 4 yr old son has staph on his bottom eyelid. It has been spread through our family and we have dealt with this for a few yrs. We take tumeric wich has gotten rid of until now. We had gotten off of it because it took care of the problem. We got back on it and brought the staph to a head and has been draining for 2 days now, but I am concerned that draining in his eye could cause serious damage.....will it.

Hi,
If properly treated, this will not cause any long term adverse effects on eyes / vision. Kindly consult your doctor for timely antibiotic treatment. Until then, wash the eyes frequently with clean water.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
