Staphylococcus msr

[airbucket]

Hi everyone!

 

Does anyone's child have this resistant staph issue? My son has it in his nose, the pedicatrician said it wont ever go away. I am wondering, should i be concerned about this in the way that some of the parents here are concerned with pandas and pitands? Is it like a virus that could be affecting his brain or just harmless living in the nose? I am not necessarily asking in relation to tics, but in a general alternative health sense. I asked his ped and he looked at me like i was speaking russian. We here know about the conncections we look for in things that traditional medicine is not interested in, hence my asking.

 

thanks so much!

I hope i didnt do anything to offend the members here, i am not sure why no one will comment on this, perhaps no one has a child with this staph? I try to be considerate here and non offensive, i just ask questions when i dont know where else to turn for answers and get tired of my pediatrician laughing at me. thanks.

Sorry, I almost answered earlier today, but discovered I don't know too much about it, so left it for somebody who knows more than me. You're talking about Methicillan Resistant Staph? I don't understand why the doctor would think he has to have it forever and why that's not a problem, especially...well, you know kids and noses. But, MRSA is not immune to all antibiotics. One of my children had a MRSA skin leision several years ago. She was prescribed an antibiotic cream. It went away and stayed away.

 

I don't know what kind of problems it could cause with the immune system- several doctors thought my daughter was just a strep carrier, too. I don't really have any advice, except to try Xlear nasal spray. Its a natural antibiotic.

Thanks Peglem,

 

the pediatrician says it wont go away because it lives in the nose and it can never be killed permanently, it will always be lingering. When my son does get it in a cut on the skin and we apply medicine, it does go away. But he says the nose wont. I just wonder about these virus' (if thats what they are) and how innocent they are or not. Thanks a lot for the tip, i will try the Xlear.

MRSA is a bacteria- viruses are not killed by antibiotics.

I have a daughter(no tics) who ended up with MRSA. She started getting spots on her stomach and legs. She went to the dermatologist and they did a biopsy of them and said they were MRSA. Gave her an antibiotic(she is allergic to most) that didn't help at all. However, they told her to use Hibiclens which is an over the counter wash, and it works great at controlling it. She also has a perscription they gave her that she puts on if she get any new spots. She also has it in her nose, and right now, they just tell her to use the Hibiclens wash. She has been doing really well and hasn't had a problem lately.
