Welcome dear ! Thanks for consulting me at virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns. MRSA is spread by contact. So, you could get MRSA by touching another person who has it on the skin. Or you could get it by touching objects that have the bacteria on them. Babies have weak immune system, so they are more at risk in the first place. Treatment which I usually prescribe to my patients is Clindamycin 450\u00a0mg per oral 3 times for 10\u00a0days. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues, feel free to ask me a question directly from my profile. You can also attach Lab reports and pictures with direct question. May you get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead.
