Well, other than washing and using standard medicines and treatments....

Honey may have helped. I've never tried it myself.

For at least 2700 years, honey has been used by humans to treat a variety of ailments through topical application, but only recently have the antiseptic and antibacterial properties of honey been chemically explained.

Wound Gels that contain antibacterial honey and have regulatory approval for wound care are now available to help conventional medicine in the battle against drug resistant strains of bacteria MRSA. As an antimicrobial agent honey may have the potential for treating a variety of ailments. One New Zealand researcher says a particular type of honey may be useful in treating MRSA infections.[65] Antibacterial properties of honey are the result of the low water activity causing osmosis, hydrogen peroxide effect,[66] and high acidity.[67]

Honey appears to be effective in killing drug-resistant biofilms which are implicated in chronic rhinosinusitis.[68]
