I have a two year old son that is otherwise very healthy. But in the last 4 months he has had 3 staph infections treated by his doctor. I now know all about staph, what it is, where it comes from, how to prevent it. My question is, why does it keep reoccuring? Why is he my only child that gets it? Could there be some other immunity problem we need to address???

Jelizaldi,

Can be many of different things, the environment hes in things he touches or eats. Id reccomend moving him to a new room in the house, and watching him closely. Also you can try giving his room a good cleaning. Bed sheets, mattress..etc. Id reccomend going to your doctor and explaining the situation, see what he says.

Hope this helps,

Dr. Perez
