Dr found staph infection in my urine.. put me on 7 day course antibiotics (alprim) what's a staph infection? my feet swell and i have itchy skin etc??

UTI: A staph infection is short for a Staphylococcus Aureus infection that is causing your urinary tract infection (UTI). Your feet swelling and itching is most likely not related to your UTI.
