Staph Infection, Taking Antibiotics, Fever, Body Aches.Worried?
I was diagnosed with a staph infection and given antibiotics for it. (This is my second round of antibiotics). I lost my pills while moving and as a result missed a week of taking them. I have found them and started them again, but have now developed a fever of 101, body aches, extreme fatigue, headaches and chills. Should I be worried or is this normal?

Hi,
You consult physician for perfect diagnosis. It may be malaria or viral disease.
You have staphylococcal infection, that may also be the cause.
You may continue to take antibiotics and antipyretic like paracetamol.
You may apply antibiotic cream on skin infection..
Improve hygiene. Take dettol bath.
Improve nutrition, take healthy food.
Avoid stress.
You may be alright.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
