What Causes Recurrence Of Staph Infection On The Neck?
Hi i had a Staphylococcus Aureus infection on my neck and it lasted for about 3 weeks it was quite bad, i got it treated and it pretty much went away but now its comming back in the same spot. I am getting my wisdom teeth surgically removed next friday can i still get the operation done ? Thanks
It may be best to have the infection treated prior to any invasive procedure including removal of teeth. Your doctor can prescribe a repeat course of antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
