A member asked:
What kind of antibiotics is strong enough to clear staph completely ? i have tried a lot and it still comes back
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MRSA?: If the staph you are describing is methicillin resistant staph a. (MRSA) then only very specific antibiotis are effective. Not sure where your infection is " recurring". Certain other conditions like diabetes can affect your body's immunity and thus recurring infections can occur. If you are taking medications that can affect you immune response, the same can occur.
