How do you treat a staph infection?
user
Staphylococcus aureus, more commonly known as staph, is a bacterium that can cause a variety of infections, ranging from mild to serious.  Most commonly, staph infections occur on the skin or nasal passages, although they may also occur in the bloodstream or other internal organs.  Staph infections are most often treated orally with antibiotic medications, and may also be treated with topical ointments or antibiotics injected directly into the skin.  It can be helpful to carefully clean and disinfect any affected skin after treatment, to help prevent further infection.  If you have any concerns or questions about your staph infection, it is best to consult with your healthcare provider for a full assessment and treatment plan.
