A member asked:
My 2 year old just got off second round of antibiotics for a staph infection on her butt. now she has a 101.3 fever. could it be related to the staph?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Even with the history of staph infection, the new fever may be related to a viral illness that is common this time of year in the northern hemisphere. Less likely, the staph infection may have spread or not been eliminated due to antibiotic resistance. I recommend seeing you doctor to address these possibilities.
