[QUOTE="Star*, post: 165222, member: 4964"] pediatrician tomorrow. If it's MRSA? Which we HAVE had the misfortune to deal with thanks to a filthy hospital operating room, and 3 weeks of IV 3x a day antibiotics, and the loss of DF's teeth - the DDS said the antibiotics killed the roots and he had to have all 27 pulled and now has false teeth....... She would be in a lot of pain, fever, and the site would be oozing. I'm not a nurse - there are a few here, so I'm sure you'll get better advice - But I would use peroxide on it tonight, pour, rinse with water, pour rinse with water - use a whole bottle. Then I would clean it with Betadine, dab dry, put on gloves, (in case) put Neosporin on it, and a loose bandaid larger than the site. OR since she's a drama queen - tell her you're going to have to amputate. That should fuel a fire for a day or two. Hugs [/QUOTE]
