To prevent your child from getting a staph infection, it is important to keep the area around their wound clean and dry. Make sure they are not exposed to other people who may have an active staph infection. If possible, avoid sharing personal items such as towels or clothing with them. Additionally, you should wash hands frequently and use hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available. Finally, make sure to monitor your child's wound for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, pain, pus, drainage, warmth, and fever.
