Apply warm compresses for 10 minutes, 4 times a day. Do not squeeze it- let it drain on its own. It will usually drain on its own in about 2 days. Antibiotic ointment, or an antibiotic-steroid combination, can be used until symptoms have cleared. If the stye lasts more than 3 days or the infection appears to be spreading, please see your doctor.

MRSA, Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, is a bacteria infection that is resistant to certain antibiotics. The organism, Staphylococcus aureus, is found normally on many individuals skin and seems to cause no major problems.  The problems start when that bacteria finds its way into the body.  \n\nMRSA infections can cause a broad range of symptoms depending on the part of the body that is infected. These may include surgical wounds, burns, catheter sites, eye, skin and blood. Infection often results in redness, swelling and tenderness at the site of infection. Sometimes, people may carry MRSA without having any symptoms.\n\nSome people can carry MRSA for days to many months, even after their infection has been treated.  It is usually treated with an antibiotic called vancomycin.\n\nCareful hand washing is the single most effective way to control spread of MRSA.  If basic hygiene precautions are followed, MRSA carriers are not a hazard to others including their family and friends.\n\nHere is a site that can tell you more about it than there is room to post here: \nhttp://www.mrsaresources.com/

it's MRSA -- methcillin resistant staph aureus -- it's a bacterial infection that is resistant to one of the most potent anti-biotic, methcillin. you have to be hospitalized for this, but there is a cure. doctors now are using Vancomycin - IV for treatment of MRSA.

Staphylococcus saprophyticus as a common cause of urinary tract infections.\n\nHovelius B, Mardh PA.\n\nUntil the last decade, coagulase-negative staphylococci occurring in urine specimens were usually regarded as a contaminant. In the early 1970s, i.e., more than ten years after the original demonstration of Staphylococcus saprophyticus in urine specimens, this species became recognized as a frequent cause of urinary tract infections (UTI). In young women, S. saprophyticus is, after Escherichia coli, the second-most-frequent causative agent of acute UTI. Patients with UTI caused by S. saprophyticus usually present with symptomatic cystitis. Signs and symptoms of renal involvement are also often registered. The urine sediment of a patient with UTI caused by S. saprophyticus has a characteristic appearance microscopically. Chemical screening methods for bacteriuria do not always succeed in diagnosing UTI caused by S. saprophyticus. Even when such an infection occurs above the neck of the bladder, low numbers of colony-forming units (less than 10(5) cfu/ml) of S. saprophyticus are comparatively often found in the bladder and voided urine. S. saprophyticus is usually susceptible to antibiotics commonly prescribed for patients with UTI, with the exception of nalidixic acid. The bacterium has a capacity for selective adherence to human urothelium. It causes direct hemagglutination. The adhesin for S. saprophyticus is a lactosamine structure. This staphylococcal species produces an extracellular enzyme complex that can inhibit growth of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.\n\nref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=6377440&dopt=Abstract\n__________________________________________________________

If the rest of your question is: "... kill staph." \n\nThen, I would have to ask if you can test with only one herb, or if you can use an herbal compound.\n\nIf using compounds is acceptable, I suggest a sufficiently strong mixture of:  White Thyme, Tea Tree Oil, Lemon, and Oregano.\n\nIf you just grab these items off the shelf, it's not likely that you'll experience great success at killing the Staph. \n\nRather, use pure essential oils, which are a highly concentrated, water distilled version of the herbs/juice.  There is no alcohol present in pure essential oils, so the success you experience will truly be from the property of the herbs.

MRSA is a serious but treatable infection.  Your doctor has probably already had susceptibility tests performed to see which antibiotics are bioavailable -- a fancy term for effective.  Most MRSA infections can be treated with clindamycin, tetracycline, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, vancomycin, or a combination.  The most important things to remember are to wash your hands often and to keep your hands away from your eyes and nose.

Lyme disease is treated with antibiotics such as doxycycline or amoxicillin. Antibiotic treatment for early Lyme disease is effective, and symptoms usually go away within 3 weeks of treatment. \n\nThe earlier antibiotic treatment is started after infection, the more quick and complete the recovery. Research indicates that if you are given a single dose of the antibiotic doxycycline within 72 hours after being bitten by an infected tick, your chances of developing Lyme disease may be reduced by up to 87%.This treatment may be especially effective for those who live in high-risk areas.\n\nIf Lyme disease is not diagnosed and treated until later problems arise, it may take you a long time to get better or you may require additional treatment.

Garlic! Garlic! and more Garlic! (a natural antibiotic)\nLemon Juice\nCranberry Juice\nApples\nYogurt with live cultures\nPearl Barley\nFlaxseed\nHoney\n\nTo maximize the effectiveness of this, you can:\n1.  Drink flaxseed tea with honey and lemon (To make tea:  first strain two ounces of flaxseed in cold water, then place seeds in a nonaluminum pot with 4 cups cold water simmer for 15 minutes then strain, add honey and lemon.\n2.  Eat barley cooked with as much garlic as you can stand. \n3.  Eat chopped apples with plain yogurt, lemon juice and honey.\n4. Take Cranberry Extract capsules.\n\nIt works quickly (although not as quickly as a prescription) - you should feel a little better tomorrow, and better than that the next day.

You would need to see your doctor to get antibiotics.  You can also use AZO which is over the counter for the pain, but this can only be used for a maximum of 2 days. Also make sure you drink plenty of fluids, especially cranberry juice.

The way to treat is to ensure that the cut is cleaned if there is dirt in the abrasion. Use a diluted antiseptic to clean and cover with a plaster(if small) or a dry dressing if large.  Check the site daily and if the skin becomes redder and angry, then is the time to visit your GP to obtain a course of anti-biotics.  \n\nIf your small cut is deep and bleeds, apply pressure each side of the cut and apply a dressing before either having it steri-stripped or stitched by a qualified First Aider or Doctor or nurse.

You may want to try Acidophilus. My 7yr old daughter had re-occurring infections from antibiotics and suffered for years until finally a Pediatrician told us to take Acidophilus to put the natural balance back in order. GNC is the only place that I've found that carries a chewable form, but you can also get the pill form at WalMart. I now treat every infection with only this product. I take up to eight chewables 2x's daily. It restores the balance within one day. These are not medications, but the natural bacteria that keep things in check in our bodies.

Staph infections are very common, so much so that many people don't know they have one. They can infect any part of the body and usually enter through an open cut. The best way to treat staph infections is by administering antibiotics, which are used to fight many bacterial infections. However. the American Medical Association suggests using caution with any type of medicine and has provided a list of things to know before using antibiotics. \n\n•  Antibiotics do not work against all infections. Antibiotics work only against infections that are caused by bacteria. These drugs are not effective at all against most viral infections. This is why your doctor will not always prescribe an antibiotic if you have an infection. Some antibiotics are effective against only certain types of bacteria. Others can effectively fight a wide range of bacteria. Bacterial infections include strep throat, most ear infections and some sinus, bladder and lung infections. \nMost common infections - such as colds, bronchitis and sore throats - are caused by viruses. Antibiotics should not be used for these viral infections because they don't help. In fact, they may cause side effects, and overuse of antibiotics contributes to the growing problem of bacterial resistance. Some viral infections such as herpes infection, some cases of influenza and HIV/AIDS can be treated with antiviral drugs. Based on your illness and symptoms, your doctor can determine if prescribing an antibiotic is appropriate. Your doctor will then select the antibiotic that will work best for your infection. \nAntibiotics may cause side effects. If your doctor prescribes an antibiotic, be sure to ask him or her what possible side effects are possible. Antibiotics can cause nausea, diarrhea and stomach pain. In some people, an allergic reaction can occur. Some antibiotics kill naturally occurring bacteria that are needed by the body. These "good" bacteria are then replaced by bacteria that can cause diarrhea or yeast infections. If you experience any side effects when you are taking an antibiotic, you should call your doctor. \nBacteria can become resistant to an antibiotic that was previously effective. Resistance is most likely to develop after long-term treatment with an antibiotic or with antibiotics that kill a wide variety of bacteria. Resistance is a growing problem, and there is concern that some types of infections will eventually not be treatable with antibiotics. This resistance is ascribed to overuse of antibiotics, especially for common viral infections. \nIt is very important that antibiotics be taken as prescribed. Antibiotics should only be used when prescribed by your doctor. Consult with your doctor before taking any other medications (including over-the-counter medications). You should never take antibiotics given to you by someone else or prescribed for a previous illness. \nThe dosage is a very important factor in antibiotic effectiveness. If the dosage of the antibiotic is not adequate, it will not be effective for treatment of the infection and bacteria are more likely to develop resistance. This is because the bacteria can continue to grow and develop ways to disrupt the antibiotic's effects. \nAntibiotics must be taken for the full amount of time prescribed by your doctor. Many times, patients will stop the use of an antibiotic when they begin to feel better and it seems that the illness has gone. However, even after the symptoms are gone, the bacteria may still be present in small amounts and an infection can return if use of the antibiotic is stopped. Not completing the prescribed dose may also promote resistance. \nAntibiotics should not be saved and reused. You should always take the full course of antibiotic treatment, so none of the drug should be "left over." However, if this has occurred, the antibiotics should not be taken to treat any other illness. Different types of infections require different types of antibiotic

Everyone actually has MRSA, and it can be treated via antibiotics.  Do not be afraid MRSA is very common in the elderly as well and they do have to be put in isolation because it is contagious, but it is treatable.  Good Luck!  :)

I've been EXACTLY where you are before. Lymes is scary and the info out there is scattered and hard to understand (believe me, I did plenty of research when I could muster the energy). \n\nYour husband will need to go to an Infectious Disease Specialist. They will do one of two things...\n\n1) Try the original treatment (the one he should have gotten just after he was infected), which is a massive dose of antibiotic in pill form. For me, it was a half gram of amoxicillian three times a day for two weeks. If they go this route, let me warn you that it's REALLY hard on your system to have that kind of dose of antibiotic in it. I was nauseous for quite a while after that treatment. If your husband likes yogurt, make sure he eats a lot of it to keep up the good bacteria in his digestive system. Believe me, it'll make life easier. \n\n2) The second treatment option is more invasive. For me, the first treatment did not work and I had to go to this one. The doctor's office inserted a 6 inch catheder in my arm so that I could give myself IV injections of the antibiotic Rocephin (I think that's how you spell it) once a day. The catheder stayed in my arm for five weeks. The insertion of the catheder is very easy - giving blood is more painful than having a catheder put in - so there's nothing to be afraid of, really, but it is scary the first time. He'll have to give himself a total of four injections a day - 2 heparin injections (heparin is a blood thinner and will keep the cathedar from getting clogged), the actual antibiotic, and a saline solution. The other three injections (the heparin and saline) will keep the cathedar clear and clean. He'll have to keep the area the catheder is in clean and dry and whatever the doctor uses to keep the cathedar still on his arm will have to be changed every couple of days, too. No alcohol while he's on the Rocephin, either. \n\nFor me, the Rocephin treatment worked pretty well. The results were slow in showing themselves, though. Be patient. When I was done, the doc said that there really weren't any more treatment options for me, but if the symptoms return to come back and they'd do the catheder/Rocephin treatment again. \n\nI WAS still fatigued after the treatment and my joints are still not what they should be, but I got a LOT of relief for both in the strangest place - my chiropractor.\n\nThe chiropractor put me on a multivitamins and omega-three fatty acids, and did adjustments three times a week, and insisted that I get at least 20 minutes of cardio workout 3 times a week.\n\nI had never been to a chiropractor before and really kinda thought they were quacks, but I was at the end of my rope. \n\nMy right hand to God, it worked. The fatigue is GONE. My joints still get pretty stiff sometimes, but it WORKED. I've never been in this kind of shape before (good shape!), and I have my energy back - and I'm symptom free. \n\nI'm wishing you lots of luck. Having Lyme sure wasn't a pleasent experience for me, and I hope that what I learned can be of use to you. \n\nIf you're interested in going the chiropractor route, and would like to have your chiropractor talk to my chiropractor, just ask. I'll check back after a while and see if you've left any comments asking for that info. I'd be happy to email or message you his contact information.\n\nBest of luck in your recovery - it can be done!!
