My 3 year old was bitten by another child at preschool. the other child has had staph and mrsa. should i be worried about my child getting infected?

Human bite: Did the bite puncture the skin? Was there bleeding? You more than likely have nothing to worry about. Was the wound cleaned following the bite?

A human bite that: breaks the skin is often treated immediately with antibiotics.If the biter is a carrier of these bacteria,there is an Increaced risk of transmission.If the wound looks infected with swelling,redness,puss,and increasing tenderness,seek medical attention.

Yes & no: This is common and seldom results in a significant problem.MRSA is everywhere, in your home, the stores,the schools, so the kids label has little to do with anything. Any wound should be monitored for signs of infection (redness,swelling,drainage) after initial cleaning. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
