I'm not a doctor, but it would seem as If I have. I had my upper wisdom teeth extracted about 2yrs ago. Almost immediately after surgery I got food stuck up in there and was not able to get it out. About 2 months after surgery the pain and swelling started. Since then it comes and goes. I notice that if I don't brush my teeth or floss for a day or so it gets worse.

No, it can spread to other people possibly. Staph needs to be treated, if not you could possibly de.

Staph Is Where A Bubble Of Bacteria Builds Up... Staph Will Look Like A Red Welp Like Some Ones Been Hit There. It Will Be Hot And If You Thought It Was A Pimple And Busted It.. Its Gonna Turn Black(The Top Of It)But The Head Will Fall In. You Can Get Staph From Being Dirty Or Miquitoes.\ But If You Didnt Know Staph Will Build Up On Your Skin If Dont Take A Shower For So Long. The Stages Are Fever,Swolen Throught,Hard To Breath,And Not Wanting To Eat And STAPH Is NOTHING to KID ABOUT.
A staff infection is short for Staphylococcus and is a group of bacteria that can cause a multitude of diseases to various tissues of the body. Staphylococcus is more familiarly known as Staph (pronounced "staff"). Staph-related illness can range from mild and requiring no treatment to severe and potentially fatal.

Superficial staph infections can generally be cured by keeping the area clean,using soaps that leave a germ-killing film on the skin. Severe or recurrent infections may require.penicillin or other oral antibiotics.Intravenous antibiotics.Surgery.

10 days

Definitely not recommended; use an antibiotic like penicillin or amoxisilin

it reproduces when people spread it to one another. by sharing things and by coughing or sneezing and especially for not covering your mouth. it gets on one spot and then starts doubling.

Yes.

White blood cell count is useful to diagnose allergies, HIV, AIDS, Hepatitis, cancer, etc. But no for hormonal imbalances, heart failure, mental illnesses, and most of genetic diseases such as diabetes.

When it's healed up and the infection is not open anymore, you can't transmit it to other people. However, there are different types of staph and one of the most common types stays in your blood and can reoccur at almost any time. One day, you might have a new sore in any random part of your body. Also, any cut that you get (even minor skin abrasions) are susceptible to the infection. Make sure that you are on the lookout for any break in your skin and keep them clean. In addition to antibiotics, try Epsom salt baths on the wound, and Grapefruit Seed Extract (taken orally). Also, make sure the infections are kept dry. Staph thrives in moist conditions, so it's good to let your wound breathe and not just keep it in a bandage all day. Tea Tree Oil is also very good for keeping it clean and dry. Also, you should avoid sugar as it has been proven that sugar helps staff thrive in your blood.

yes any open cut

Forever. It is in the hair, skin, and who knows what else. When our immune systems get weak, or we somehow get it into our bloodstreams, it becomes a staph infection.

A staph infection can occur anywhere in the body. If you have not seen an Opthalmologist you may even have herpes in your eye. Do not go to an Optomitrist, only an Opthalmologist, the latter is a MEDICAL DOCTOR same as a Neurosurgion, Endocrinologist and the like. An Optometrist does not have the benefit of medical school for 12 plus years. A blood test will show a staph infection is present, and the irritation or pain will show itself in the area of the body affected. So, yes, a staph infection can occur anywhere in the body. Don't wait, get to an Opthalmologist. If you do not have insurance GO TO YOUR COUNTY HOSPITAL. Good Luck, a Staph infection can be cured, herpes a virus cannot but can be treated well. lyn

Once your symptoms cease, you should go back to school. Strep throat is most contagious before symptoms apper in the first place. Wait at least 24 hours before going back, though, because the symptoms might resurface. Take care of your throat and your friends!

Stay away from ANYONE that has has sexual intercourse and not showered. Shower regurarly. Stay out of dirty enviorments. Keep your house clean. Wash clothes daily... to aviod wearing dirty clothes.

It is not very common, but it is possible and more likely to happen in the context of a hospital, prison, or gym/locker room. Staph bacteria are actually present on most people's skin all of the time; an actual infection occurs only when the bacteria invade the skin for some reason. Staph infections can easily take hold through an open wound in the skin (cut, abrasion, other sore), but they can also take hold via a hair follicle--in which case the infection will cause a boil. Men are slightly more susceptible, perhaps in part because they are more likely to use gyms or be in prisons--but also because men have hairier legs and buttocks and the hair follicles there can develop boils.

All that said, it is rather unlikely that a clothed person will contract a staph infection from sitting in a normal chair, no matter where it is located.

yes.

Yes.

You must finish taking all of the antibiotics. Even if your symptoms have begun to clear up and you are feeling better; if you still have antibiotics left than you are likely still contagious.

Symptoms often begin to go away before you have completed taking all of the medicine, the virus itself however is normally still present and your body is still fighting it off.
