My child has MRSA (bad infection), the Dr. isn't calling me back. What do I do?

Question

My 2 1/2 yo daughter has MRSA (antibiotic resistant Staph. infection), diagnosed yesterday. She has had these infections 4 or 5 times in the last year, all treated as Staph. and given antibiotics. Now I know why that never helped. Anyway, she has gotten worse....one spot on her thigh has a half dollar size area that is red, hard, and so painful that she can't walk. That spot looked just like the others yesterday. I called the Dr. 4x's and have not heard back. Most people will say go to the ER, but I think she originally got the infection while admitted in the hospital (she has an autoimmune disorder and is hospitalized every few months). Parents, please help! What would you do?

They did still put her on an antibiotic yesterday?, and a cream that they say the bacteria is not resistant to.

Answer 1

Because she is so young, I would take her to the hopital.  Keep giving her the antibiotic and the cream!  It is very important that you do both!  Also, heat packs on the spot.  I understand why you don't want to bring her back to the hospital, but you want to make sure the MRSA has not spread to her brain.  

Answer 2

If she is in so much pain, I dont think you should let her suffer. I'd go ahead and take her into the ER. I'd also consider finding a better more responsive dr. He should have called you back by now.

Answer 3

well I think you might want to contact the drs office, or hospital and ask who you would need to make a formal complaint with.  When a parent is upset about something that is needing medical attention and contacting the dr and they never return the call then they are is the wrong( almost like a malpractice since they are aware of the situation and saying or doing nothing)and can get in trouble.  

I have had to make a complaint before and after that there was never a problem.

Good Luck to you.

Answer 4

For an overall, medical description of Staph infection:

First, I would 'puff' FPP / FG-DE on the infected areas.

Then I would begin adding the recommended amount of it to the child's food, regularly.  

"...FPP Helps detox heavy metals, e-coli, and potentially harmful bacteria and viruses..."

< antibiotic resistant Staph infection natural remedy >

Next, I would put that^ list of words into an Internet Search box, & start researching natural remedies.  ?They say she has antibiotic-resistant staph, but put her on an antibiotic anyway???  That's typical...

Questions like yours always remind me of these articles:

I hope you find something that works, fast!  The FPP is high in water soluble silica, which is low in our soils & produce.  I've seen severe eczema clear up using it, among other things, when conventional treatments didn't do much.

Answer 5

I wouldn't take her to the ER either, but I would take her to a _good_ quick care place. A good one would be able to run labs, etc. Please don't let her suffer, and beware septicemia. I would also find a new pediatrician. I recommend one that is as independent as possible, because that means that they're good enough to make money on their own, rather than being supported by a hospital.
