Suggest Remedy For Staph Infection In Site Of Lancing
My husband has been having staph infections in the same spot that have to be lanced by a physician around every 3 to six months, but he has another staph infection only 2 weeks after his last lancing in a new spot(groin) that is huge and traveling. He has been given doxycycline hyclate and bactrim every time even though we tell them he is allergic. He throws them up and gets hives. He is very cold and has been running a very low 94.3 etc! Please help me.

Hello ,
I understand your concern. I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern.
Doing Gram's staining, Culture and sensitivity will help.
I suggest you to do above test. As you are allergic to the above drugs you got a wide spectrum of other sensitive drugs available to treat your infection.
Please maintain the cleanliness at the sight of injection before you give shot. Prefered to wash it than clean it with betadine and spirit. This will clear your all future infection.
Cleanliness and spirit swabbing is also necessary for the infections you have right now. Apart from the antibiotics you can apply a neosporin powder on the wound. It will help further in healing.
