He has a staph infection again

[sunshineluv]

Oh my goodness, poor lil guy! That sounds miserable

[JuliaGulia]

Poor L! I hope it gets better sooon. Alexis had a yeast infection and the pedi told me to but plain Maalox or Mylanta on and it would keep any acid away from her skin? It helped her a lot. I put it on first let it dry and put her rx cream on after.

Ugh that sucks! Poor little man. I hope that this new medicine starts to help very quickly so he's feeling better soon!

[claralou]

oh poor layne! I hope this next round of meds clears it up for him fast!

[laouli]

Oh No! I hope he gets better quickly!

[mrsjaymay]

That sounds awful! Poor Layne. Hope it heals completely this time.

[rjamz]

Awww, poor guy, I hope his tush is better soon

Poor baby! Did the doctor give you a topical antibiotic? Sadie and I are the staph queens, and they always give us mupirocin.

[tuck]

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do both. It looks like mupirocin is specific to staph, so if they're not certain it is staph, they may not want to use it. It's one of the few drugs that can actually deal with MRSA, so they want to protect that.

Did the doctor mention anything about bleach baths? You wouldn't want to do it while he has open wounds, but you can give a full bath with a cup of bleach in the water (so it's basically a really strong swimming pool)a few times a week for three or so weeks, and it can help kill the excessive bacteria colony on the skin.

[tuck]

Poor baby. I hope he clears up soon!

[carawestt]

Poor little guy I hope the meds help.

[thedahliharpa]

I hope this is the last of it for you both. Feel better L!
