Headache
Since MRSA includes the bloodstream, it causes the infection to spread to numerous areas of the body, including the head. When the body is fighting a serious infection, headaches can develop due to increased inflammation.
To relieve headache pain, try common NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen or naproxen, and avoid bright lights and loud noises until the headache subsides. If the pain accompanies nausea and vomiting, contact your physician. Another infection or condition might be responsible for these MRSA symptoms.
