Fever

Fevers are common in many infections. A low or high temperature is a typical MRSA symptom. This could be the first sign suggesting that the small red bumps aren't spider bites or an acne outbreak.

Doctors recommend managing the fever with rest, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and plenty of fluids. Anyone experiencing a rash, small bumps that are hot to the touch and a fever should speak to their doctor about the possibility of an infection.
