What Can Be Done To Increase The Immunity And Keep The Blood Number Stay Up When Having MERSA Often?

My husband had mersa in his elbow/ wrist and lower back. He has been on antibiotic several time and the infection seems to keep coming back. He has had several surgeries. He feels great and looks great but his numbers will not come down. Could something else be causing his blood numbers to stay up?

certainly one has to get rid of colonization of staphylococcus on their body,,,
untill n unless they get rid of colonization, antibiotics will not be sufficient,,,,

Body colonization has be eradicated with Chlorxedine wash for 21 days
nasal colonization with Mupirocin 10 mg ointment,,,

these areas are prime for MRSA,,

thats the obvious, body colonization leads to recurrence of infections...

take care of Chindren, if they are exposed, they can become carriers n suffer frequent lesions....
