Tattoomom Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 The post about strep in the nose made me think of a new question for you all..... While my daughter has tested positive for strep, she has also tested positive for staph in her throat. It's not MRSA, just staph, and the culture always gives the antibiotic recommendation to treat it. After trying to treat it once, and re-testing, ANOTHER staph was there and ANOTHER antibiotic was recommended but the Pediatrician didn't feel comfortable trying to treat it again, for fear of creating a MRSA strain. Why does she keep staph in her throat?!
Tattoomom Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Posted May 23, 2011 39 reviews and no replies? Does anyone have any insight on staph in the throat?
JAG10 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 Hi, I remember Johnsmom posting about her son's recent pop for staph http://www.latitudes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=13663&st=0&p=113100&hl=johnsmom&fromsearch=1entry113100 On his bum, not throat though. Sorry no info for you. Who knows what we would all find....if we looked.
AmySLP Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 Not sure if your daughter is a finger or thumb sucker or nail biter, but if so, this might explain recurrent staph infection in the mouth.
