My daughter was diagnosed with what they thought was MRSA staph now they think it is a boil so we are treating it as MRSA I will know the results tomorrow. My question is how long does she have to wait to go swimming. They already busted it and squeezed everything out and it is nothing but a tiny little scab no more drainage but the medicines and cream i am still doing till they are gone
Hiwelcome to ChatDoctori read your daughter history and can understand your concern towards the same. MRSA infection are very common nowadays. Don't worry. If they had isolated these bacteria from boil, she has to wait until it is completely cured. Your doctor must have prescribed her on antibiotics. Let her complete the course and wait until it gets Chat Doctor. If she goes for swimming before that chances of infection with other bacteria or reinfection with MRSA chances are high. Thank you take care
