Early Signs of Staph?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hello, please forgive me if this is in the wrong group but, I think I may have early signs of staph I'm not sure.. So on Thursday I came down with what I thought was the flu, I began feeling very tired and chilled, and my body and head began aching, and my throat was very sore. I felt like vomiting throughout the day (I didn't), and sweat a lot that night. I took some Ibuprofen too..Through Friday, I felt somewhat better, but stayed in bed like Thursday..

Here we are on Saturday morning. I woke up without any aches or fatigue, however my throat was still sore. I noticed my right nasal felt as if there was hardened dry mucus on the lining. Casually, I blew my nose and wiped it, but later it came back to that state of what seems like dried pus after examining it again.. I later noticed another scab on my chin with dried pus.. I rubbed it off for a test and later it came back.. I'm also developing small bumps and a boil on my hands, one already has a bit of pus.. I'm not sure how I miraculously got these bumps and scabs, I take showers and stay inside every day.. Could this be early signs of staph right after my fever? Please help, I'm clueless..

    Hopefully by now you've been to the doctor about this. Was it staph?
