Staph Infections Causes, Symptoms & Treatments
Treatment #3: What You Can Do at Home
Besides the treatment provided by your doctor, there are also several steps you can take at home to prevent it from spreading further or infecting your loved ones. Practice good handwashing techniques, such as making sure your nails are clean and using soap. Avoid touching the infected area. If you are caring for an infected person, try wearing gloves to avoid being infected.
Clean your household surfaces more frequently, and wash your clothes and linens using hot water. Use caution when you are handling food because staphylococcus can cause food poisoning. Wash the infected area several times a day using an antibacterial soap to prevent it from spreading.
