Hello, Thank you for contacting ChatDoctorI understand your concern, I am Chat Doctor, Infectious Disease Specialist answering your query. It may be possible that you have both the infections Infectious mononucleosis and Staphylococcus aureus, or you have secondary infection of S. aureus. I advise you to take the tablet of bacteria as prescribed by your doctor. Hygiene maintenance is equally important as it will take same part in infection treatment. Please avoid sharing your household with other members. As it may transfer the infection to other members of the family also. I also advice you to test for MRSA. As this MRSA is highly resistant to routinely prescribed Chat Doctor.  If you have MRSA other members will also get colonize with MRSA and in future further treatment can also become problematic.
