How Can MRSA Be Treated?
I had an infection on my heel which turned out to be mrsa. The doctor lanced it and it seems to be heeling well. I have been taking antibiotic for this as well as using silver sulphadiazine cream. I am very worried that my dog bite will become infected simply because I have mrsa. What precautions should I take and because i tested positive for mrsa, does this mean ill alwzys have it?

1)MRSA is a bacteria resitant to most antibiotics. based on culture sensitivity report of pus you can select antibiotic and use it .make sure you complete the course .
2)Dont worry infection is not forever.bacteria are killed with antibiotics.
3)continue regular dressings , high protein diet ,complete course of antibiotic.
consult doctor if u feel sick with high fever and pus discharging from wound ,
