Staph infection is back
I went to the doctor for a staph infection almost 2 weeks ago. A nodule came up again today. I took the antibiotics as instructed, and went about my business. After 7 days, I stopped taking them as heavily. I was taking 4 a day. But i brought it down to 1 a day. I was feeling sick from them, and they made my stomach hurt. Now I have a nodule today. Is there anyway I can just get a shot? Or will upping the meds back up fix it?
Dear ,as u said u already consulted so better u fallow up with your treating doctor , very minimum information with that can't make diagnosis and treatment ,so fallow up with your doctor may need to take more medicines for more weeks or may need to change or with that add on of antiboitcs , need of further investigation like culture and sensitivity
