What Causes Chills And Lethargy After Suffering From Staph Infection?

I have had a staff infection in my foot which started last November. It has healed but still has dry patches and smooth scabs that look like dry skin. My question is that I feel like I still have symptoms like chills and lethargy. Could this still be from the staff bug?

Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns.
For how long u are suffering from it? Any other associated problem? like diabetes or hypertension?Any other lymph node swelling in your body?
You need to be examined by the surgeon before a reasoned conclusion can be drawn.
You need to use the antibiotics along with the painkillers as well. Penicillin will be the right option for it. continue using your medicines and meet your doctor.
Meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain
Get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
