Article: A staph infection can show redness and swelling. It can also create pus. In fact, it can look much like a spider bite. The skin may also feel warm. These symptoms will generally be near where you have a cut or sore. There may also be pus or discharge draining from the wound. Staph infections can develop into a serious infection quickly. Therefore, if you think you have one, you should call your doctor. Your doctor will likely want you to come in as soon as possible, and she will give you instructions for the immediate future. If you have signs of infection as well as a fever, it is especially important you see your doctor. Your doctor may wish to see you immediately or send you to the emergency room for treatment. In warm water, gently wash the area with soap. You can use a washcloth if you do so gently, but you shouldn't use that washcloth again before washing it. Don't try to pop the wound if it's a blister; that will only spread infection. If your wound needs to be drained, it should be done a by doctor.  Make sure to wash your hands after cleaning the area. When you dry the wound, use a clean towel. Don't reuse it without washing it. Generally, your doctor will want to analyze a sample of tissue or a culture. The idea is he can check what strain of the infection you have; once identified, he will know which antibiotic that particular microbe is susceptible to. If you have a bad infection that creates an abscess or boil, your doctor will likely drain the pus from wound. You shouldn't feel much, as she will try to numb the area first. Draining a wound generally involves the doctor using a scalpel to make a small incision across it. After that, she'll let fluid drain out. If the wound is large, she may pack it with gauze that will need to be removed at a later time. Most of the time with staph infection, you will need to take a round of antibiotics. One reason staph is so dangerous is because some strains are becoming resistant to certain types of antibiotics. This includes Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which must be treated with IV antibiotics.  Typically, you'd take cephalosporins, nafcillin, or sulfa drugs; however, you may need to take vancomycin instead, which is less resistant. The downside to this drug is your doctor must give it to you intravenously.  A side effect of vancomycin may be the development of a severe, itch rash. It usually covers the neck, face, and upper torso.  You cannot simply look at an infection and know that it is a staph or MRSA Sometimes, staph infections can develop around a medical device implanted in your body or a prosthetic. If that happens, you may need surgery to have the device removed. Staph infections can be a problem in a number of situations, such as when you have surgery. You can also develop a serious condition called septic arthritis when staph bacteria enter a joint, which can happen sometimes when staph is in the bloodstream. If you have septic arthritis, you'll have trouble using that joint; you'll also likely notice quite a bit of pain, as well as some swelling and redness. You should see a doctor as soon as possible if you have these symptoms.

Article: You can help your child become independent by teaching them to do things on their own. Make sure that you know what to expect from your child at different ages. You want to set age appropriate goals so that your child doesn’t get frustrated.  Children between 18 and 36 months can do things like: wash hands with help, learn to use the toilet, and put clothes in the hamper. Children around 3 years old can often: put things in the trash, brush teeth (with help), and carry non breakable dishes from the table. Children who are 4 and 5 can begin to: dress by themselves, understand 2 step directions, and follow simple routines. Whether you are teaching a new skill or setting a routine, give your child easy to follow instructions. Break the skill into small steps. Talk your child through each step.  For example, maybe you are teaching your child to wash hands. You could break that down into small steps like: climb on the step stool, turn on water, hold hands under water, put soap on hands, rub hands together, rinse under water, and dry hands on towel. Since you're walking your child through these steps, you don't need to worry right away about whether or not they can memorize multiple steps. That will come with time and repetition. One of the best ways to teach your children is to demonstrate. As you are talking, do the actions that you are describing. For example, if you are explaining hand washing, go through each step as you describe it to your child. You can do it first, or alongside them. Sometimes your child might not like certain activities. For example, they could dislike brushing their teeth. Tell them “First, brush your teeth, then it will be time for a snack.”  You could also say something like, “First, put your toys away. Then we can play with the puppy.” This phrasing can help encourage kids to do things they dislike. Part of teaching independence involves helping kids make decisions. You can build up to actual decisions by starting with choices. Incorporate them into daily activities.  For example, if you are teaching them to get dressed, you can say, “Would you like to wear the red shirt or the blue one?” If you are trying to get them to eat a healthy snack, say, “Do you want a banana or an apple?” Although these activities are simple for adults, remember that they are new and sometimes hard for kids. Be patient and use encouraging words. Each time your child tries a new skill, reward them with positive words.  You can say: “Amy, you did a great job squeezing the toothpaste onto the tube. You’re really learning!” Even when your child makes a mistake, you can correct them while being kind. Try "Ethan, that's not where our toys go. I bet next time you will put them in the right bin! You're getting good at that."
