Is Doctor Consultation Required For Being Around With A Child With MRSA?
Yes my grandchildren were around a child that might have MRSA. This happened today. We aren t sure if we should be alarmed, because we didn t know about it until my daughter took the child home. We also have a 3mo. old here at the house,so we really need to know if we need to take them to a doctor?

thank you for using healthcare magic.
it would depend if any one of you develop symptoms. If you have a strong immune system, you probably won't develop anything. But if you develop any symptom after contact (fever, cough, etc.), better consult with ur doctor and don't forget to tell them about the MRSA so as to give you the proper medication.
