Hi my name is DaVonte, I m male at 17. A while back ago(9 months) I had a staph infection on my thighs and I went in and got it treated etc. Six months ago I started to swell in random places from head to toe and it would be multiple spots not just one are but all over, if I take Zyrtec I m okay but the weird thing is I m not allergic to anything and my eating habits and things like that are still the same over the years nothing new, now lately I ve been depressed and it s been coming and going out of no where but I m not to worried about that. What I m just a little concerned about is that right after the staph I ve been swelling and recently my tendons everywhere have been in an extreme amount of pain and it s causing me to become lazier and more exhausted. So what I m asking can my old staph be causing the problems now? If you have any insight as to what may be going on that would be grand to hear. Thanks.
Hello, thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. If I am your doctor I suggest you staphylococcus has propensity to get occurred at multiple sites even after get cured by at one site. I advise you to get culture, sensitivity and MRSA test for staphylococcus. If its MRSA you might get repeated infection. Take good care of your hygiene also, only antibiotics won't cure you. If you have to ask me anything you can contact me. Chat Doctor. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
