    Hun, I'm sorry you didn't get much of an answer. If you're not feeling comfortable with what the last GP had to say, I would definitely take her for a second opinion somewhere else. I know it's a huge hassle but mummy instinct is there for a reason

    Well this is what I thought. They had two gp's check her. I am watching her like a hawk
    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.

    Staph comes in lots of different strains. If they aren't concerned then I would think that its one of the less serious ones. My son had a little rash on his neck which turned out to be a staff infection. One round of antibiotics and it was gone.
