Hi. I have had recurring staph infections on my face that I ve been treated for over the past few months. Yesterday I saw the Dr for what I thought were canker sores in my mouth, that developed into bigger ulcers under my tongue. I was given 3 shots, plus I m on acyclovir. He wants me to stop the use of biological for treatment of my RA. My question is, today I have the chills like crazy. I checked my temp and it is 96.6. Should I be alarmed?
Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that you should start mupirocin ointment for local face lesion of Staphylococcus aureus. For chancre, you should start with Doxycycline treatment under your doctors' guidance. Rest of the treatment are good enough for your treatment. I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
