staph infection can come back by simply being re-exposed again or by not properly cleaning wounds (some species of staph live on our skin). i don't know what kind of antibiotic you are taking but i trust the choice of medication is appropriate for the type of staph that you have.
can staph infections come back? . i had fallen on my knee which swelled tremendously then blistered in a couple of spots. after being admitted to the hospital i was told that i had a staph infection. some of the paperwork mentions "septic" is that the same thing. and even though i'm taking 3 000 mg. of antibiotics a day can the infection come back?
