Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have a vaginal yeast infection and I do not know what to do and say to my mother. How can I relieve this at home in one or two days? How to get rid of this?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com

I read your query and understood your concern.

There is nothing to feel awkward about vaginal infection. To avoid such infection you should keep that area clean and dry, change undergarments two times a day, wash your genital with mild cleansers and if there is excessive discharge with a foul smell, then you should take an antibiotic course for five days. So, I suggest you take the following medications.

1. Tablet Doxycycline ( Doxycycline monohydrate) 100 mg twice daily,

2. Tablet Metronidazole (antibiotic) 400 mg thrice daily.

3. Tablet Pan (Pantoprazole) 40 mg twice daily before meal, all these for five days.

Kindly consult a specialist, talk with them, and take medications with their consent.

I hope this information helps.

Feel free to ask further queries.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
