    I was under the impression that staph is fairly serious, I woul def keep a close eye on her and if she deteriorates any more, take her straight to emergency.
    Don't wast time second guessing yourself.
    Hope all is ok

    Staph is a type of bacteria that many people carry harmlessly on their skin (especially around the nose and mouth). It can sometimes get in through a cut or sore and cause an infection, which needs antibiotics. My sister had a golden staph infection on her leg which got pretty festy but cleared up in the end.

    If it doesn't clear up with the abs you have then it may need testing to determine exactly what strain of staph. It CAN be serious but in most cases is not. Just watch her closely and keep an eye on her temp and alertness and yes definitely get another opinion if you are worried. Mummy's intuition is so important.
