My grandmother (and possibly grandfather) has been diagnosed with a MRSA infection in a breast cancer surgery wound. ![]()
Â
My 12 weeks pregnant self and 21 month old daughter were going with our whole family to visit over Thanksgiving. I REALLY do not want to NOT go, but I need some advice for the BEST way to prevent spreading the infection to myself or my daughter. We will not be staying at their house, but there is a slight possibility that we will have several family gatherings/meals there, and, of course, I want to see them.Â
Â
The doctor says the infection is 75% cured and is sending her home with strong antibiotics, a visiting nurse, and instructions for the family to use good handwashing technique. I also have a cold. ![]()
Â
What should I do to keep my daughter and I healthy? I'm thinking probiotics, nettipot cleansing, washing with tea tree oil, alcohol hand cleansers. Any suggestions?
Â
Thanks!
