Staphylococcus treatment

Staphylococcus is a fairly common in everyday life infection. Most people are permanent or temporary carriers of bacteria in the nose. As a rule, they do not cause trouble until a combination of unsanitary conditions, overpopulation and unhealthy food. In such cases, the treatment of staphylococcus becomes vitally important.

Often, infection occurs with skin damage. Penetration and development of bacteria provokes such diseases as furunculosis, impetigo (a rash that is common in children). In addition, the infection can be a complication after suffering scabies, eczema or lice.

The infection is diagnosed by the results of a smear taken from the patient's throat.

Previously, the treatment of staphylococcus was carried out using penicillin. However, today most bacteria are not susceptible to this antibiotic.

Most of all, the contact path, through which staphylococcus spreads, is of concern. Treatment in children of this infection involves complete isolation of affected skin areas, as well as the exclusion of bathing in public places. Patients should use only individual household items and hygiene.

Despite the spread of infection on the skin, the disease is also systemic. Penetrating into the bloodstream, bacteria often provoke swelling of the glands and fever. Therefore, in order to achieve the most effective results, treatment of staphylococcus is carried out with both external drugs and medications intended for oral administration.

In many cases, infection occurs through the intake of foods not contained in the refrigerator. So, staphylococcal bacteria penetrate into dairy and meat products in case it is left at room temperature for the night. During their rapid multiplication, a toxic toxin is produced that does not undergo destruction during heat treatment during cooking.

Increased susceptibility to infection is noted with protein deficiency in the body. Thus, staphylococcus is a disease of vegetarians. In addition, bacteria easily enter the body of people prone to avitaminosis, in particular when there is a lack of B-vitamins.

Treatment of staphylococcus always begins with tests, including sensitivity to antibiotics. It should be noted that eliminating the disease is a very difficult task, but it is quite feasible.

Staphylococcus aureus in children. Treatment

As already mentioned above, penicillin was widely used to eliminate infection. However, since its introduction into treatment, the bacterium has significantly mutated. Today, Staphylococcus aureus manifests a pronounced resistance to penicillin. Therefore, in the fight against infection, modern doctors widely use Methicillin. It is a chemically modified antibiotic that is not susceptible to destruction by a bacterial enzyme. However, today there are stable strains of staphylococcus and this antibiotic.

In some cases, the advanced stage of the disease is applied by external means. These include Neosporin and Bacitracin. These antibiotic ointments are used as local therapy medicines and are available in pharmacies without a prescription. Drugs are applied one to three times a day on ulcerated skin areas after poultices. It is expedient to use additional means.

To detoxify the body, doctors recommend taking vitamin C three times a day.

With ulcers provoked by staphylococcal infection, the most important is the content of affected areas in cleanliness, dryness and open state.
