contagious?

[sweetpetutie]

If you have a bacterial infection and have been taking antibiotics for four days, are the odds for or against that you are still contagious?

Depends on what kind of infection.

If it's MRSA... yes, you are still infestious.

MRSA?

MRSA?

It's a staph infection. You take antibiotics to clear it up. Very contagious even after you are on anitbiotics.

What if it's not staph and just a run-of-the-mill bacterial infection? After four days w/antibiotics, is it more probable that you are/aren't contagious?

It's better to bet you're still contagious before someone else finds out the hard way.

Without knowing more, I don't think anyone could tell you that. You might want to get into webMD and look for more info.

Didn't CALL a doctor. SAW a doctor. Hence the diagnosis of a bacterial infection and prescription for antibiotics.

So call the doctor who diagnosed you and ask him/her if you're still contagious.

If you work around a lot of people or food you probably shouldn't leave the house yet, until you know.

You still have cooties if you are blowing or coughing up colors. Sorry I don't know anyother way to put it. If it's clear or white you got rid of the cooties.

Stay home. I can't be exposed to anything due to chemo, so I'd appreciate it if the sick people stayed home, but I don't go out hardly at all. :shrug: Just saying.
