5. Symptoms

MRSA infections typically start off with typical staph (Staphylococcus) infection symptoms. This tends to mean swollen red bumps on the skin that can be warm to the touch and also quite painful. The infected area is also likely to be full of pus, and the patient is also likely to have a fever.

If left untreated, staph infects can get considerably worse. This can lead to worsening symptoms such as an increased fever and aches and pain in joints and muscles. The patient can also become dizzy, and they can also become confused more easily than usual. The latter symptoms should be enough to encourage you to see a doctor if you have not done so already.
