Can staph infection be cured?

Staph infections can be cured. If you have one, it is IMPERATIVE that you must see your doctor as soon as you can to get medical treatment. Because staph eats away at your body, you never want to wait too long before getting help. The process of curing one is not fun at all, and extremely painful. Depending on the size and severity of your staph infection will determine the actions your doctor will take in curing it. In most cases, this is how a staph infection will be cured. The doctor will try to drain the staph infection. If it is too painful to be drained, they will numb the area being worked on. They will drain the infection out completely. They will irrigate the area with water to clean the area. The infection will be packed with gauze and bandaged up. You will get a shot to relieve pain. You will be prescribed with medications to help with pain. Hopefully, your staph infection will be gotten rid of. These can NOT be cured on your own, and it is EXTREMELY important to see your doctor, because if you wait too long, it will eat away your body. That is how a staph infection can be cured.
