Staphylococcus aureus
Greetings,I am posting on behalf of my mother, she had a total knee replacement surgery of her left knee on 4th of March 2013, after being through different phases of having pain, swelling, burning etc. she was ultimately told that she has an infection in her knee. Doctor told us that she would be treated with antibiotics first but ultimately she would again be operated in order to get the knee cleaned and that the knee will again be replaced.
That was scary and we went for homoeopathic treatment. It has now been 2 months that she is getting homoeopathic treatment, although there are some positive signs are there but there still is redness on right side of the knee and swelling above the knee. After 6 weeks of treatment we got back to the surgeon who operated the knee at the first place and he made a little cut and took a sample of PUS for test and the report shows:
Culture Report: Moderate growth of Staphylococcus aureus isolated after 72 hours
NOTE: Methicillin Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA)
No Anaerobe isolated
Now, I need advise on how can we treat it avoiding the operation. Also, I would like to state that my mother has gone through OPEN HEART SURGERY in 2007, just for information.
Please advise.
Regards
Majid
