A member asked:
Can you still have a staph infection after taking the antibiotics you were given?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wrong question: "Staph infection" is not a diagnosis. What are you on antibiotic for? What is the diagnosis? ARE THE SYMPTOMS GONE? That is the issue. If the staph bacteria are sensitive to your antibiotic they may be gone. Ask the DR. who is treating you.
