Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 This would probably go away with a topical antibiotic. Ask for that, perhaps? marti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Just be careful with staph infections. If it progresses, and you play with them too long, they can become very serious. I have a friend who just had her big toe amputated, because of a staph infection that reached the bone. a --- Theresa Haghnazarian <daytonfeat@...> wrote: My son has been diagnosed by his pediatrician with a staph infection in his finger nail. Naturally, he wrote a script for amoxicillin. I hate to have my son take any more antibiotics. Anyone know of any homeopathic remedies to get rid of the staph (if that's really what it is!)?

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Just be sure to not give them together. You need to space them out by about 2 hours. a --- " jatorforconnor " <jay@...> wrote: If you do give the antibiotics....also give probiotics along with.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 O, I like your analogy. I was walking halfway decent with a walker until a couple weeks ago when I got a staph infection in my right foot. I was like a dishrag in bed for almost a week. I'm up and about now, but my legs have not recovered and I am dragging my legs around with the help of the walker, very exhausting. So I think you're right about not being able to recover.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Jeanne, I've had a couple of staph infections in my right food requiring heavy antibiotics. The antibiobitic therapy caused great fatigue. Once I was off antibiotics,like 3-6 months) my energy returned. Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Thanks, maybe there's some hope for improvement. This really wiped me out, so that sounds good to me.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 i had a staph infection in july this year, this was my 5th major infection in my right foot, the antibiotics really made me sick to the point that i told the doctor i was done with the antibiotics and opted for amputation, my doc wanted me to do the hyper barrick chamber for 9 weeks, 2 hours a day 5 days a week plus the antibiotics, it took some major guts from me but i decided enough was enough take it off, its been 4 weeks today since the amputation and i feel amazing, like i havent felt in years, some minor aches and pains but doing well, i am about 3 weeks from the prostetic, very xcitied about the future for once in my life i feel like i have a future, maybe go back to work and feel like i am not worthless, just had to comment on the staph infrctions and what i have been experiencing, keep up the post everyone i read them daily, good luck and have fun, jim!

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 apply to area, if skin is intact can be applied directly on the infection, if broken skin, then put pads on each side of it. go around it. MRSA has usually cleared right up in cases I have seen, but we are researching it, also..so cross fingers. I have not yet seen it fail to clear right up in a day or two in some cases, and in a week in others, without any relapse. bG > > > > > > Being rather sceptical about DC and its application to human body (electrolysis danger) I found lots of interesting info on PubMed.
