A member asked:
I now have mrsa and i've finished my antibiotics. how will i know if its gone or not? will i have tto worry about every little bump that occurs now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: You will know if it is gone if the followup culture is negative. It is natural, after having an infection like that, to worry that "every little bump" will be another one - but if you ever have another one, your doctor will treat it, just like this one was treated - so there is no sense wasting energy worrying about it.
