    Painful recurring staph infection
    My 14 year old daughter has had staph infection four times since April. Twice on her chin, once on her eye and now in her bikini area. The doctor has given her different kinds of antibiotics, but it always seems to come back. What should I do? I'm really worried that it hasn't completely went away.

    She might be having issues with a compromised immune system.Is she taking a multi vitamin/mineral supplement? You should purchase a quality supplement for her (not just store brand since they tend to not be as effective)

    You should also purchase probiotics for her since her "good bacteria" is probably diminished since she's been on antibiotics.

    Echinacea, vitamin c and garlic all have antioxidant properties that can help boost the immune system.


    Make her drink 8 - 10 glasses of purified water daily.No soda/sugar drinks.
