HI
GRAM POSITIVE COCCI SEEN ON GRAMS STAIN IS MOST LIKELY REFLECT THE PRESENCE OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS .
THIS INFECTION FROM HAS TO BE ELIMINATED FROM THE BELLY BUTTON SITE,OR ELSE IT LEADS TO SYSTEMIC INFECTION.
ANTIBIOTICS LIKE AUGMENTIN 625 WILL HELP IN CLEARANCE,.
TOPICAL MUPIROCIN PROVES HANDY.
CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE.
THANK YOU,
TAKE CARE
