If my antibiotics don't work for my golden staph on the mouth, how do i get rid of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Impetigo?: By "golden staph, " i assume you're referring to staph aureus. To answer your question, i'd have to know where on the mouth you have it. Staph can sometimes cause impetigo around the mouth, but usually in babies and young children. Anti-staph antibiotics are used for treatment.
