Paronychia Staph question, please help.?
I’ve recently had a severe case of Paronychia, the doctor in the ER assumed it was MRSA, but didn’t culture it. I took Bactrim. I’ve had a fever. The staph seemed to have spread because I got a huge lump under the skin near my vagina which eventually opened and drained what looked just like what came out of my finger. Anyways, my gynecologist gave me a new antibiotic for that. (I was on two) The Bactrim was for MRSA, and the new one was just for Staph. I couldn’t come off of either because I didn’t know which one worked because they didn’t culture. I finished Bactrim 24 hours ago and I woke up this morning with red blotches on my two fingertips next to the infected one. Also, a higher fever. By recently I mean I still have it. It is not chronic, it just spread. Also, the vaginal abscess was under the skin. As if it had spread through my body. Not from digital contact.
