The GI tract is also known as the gut. Trillions of bacteria and tiny organisms, called flora, live there. In fact, the flora make up about 60% of our feces. Three main types of flora live in the gut:
In brief: Depends on severity. A tiny pimple or pustule on the skin, caused by regular staph, should heal up in 3-5 days after the pus comes out. A deeper abscess may take 1 week of treatment to clear up, and another week for the remaining wound to heal. People who have internal abscesses in their bodies, or have suppressed immune systems, can take several weeks of treatment with IV antibiotics (even longer in bone infections).
Viral Conjunctivitis. Most cases of viral conjunctivitis are mild. The infection will usually clear up in 7â14 days without treatment and without any long-term consequences. In some cases, viral conjunctivitis can take 2-3 weeks or more to clear up, especially if complications arise.he treatment for conjunctivitis depends on the cause. It is not always necessary to see a healthcare provider for conjunctivitis. But, as noted below, there are times when it is important to seek medical care.
