Patient's question:
I have itching in my groin area. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said I had candidiasis (yeast infection). The doctor prescribed anti-inflammatory medication and I bought metronidazole tablets and miconazole cream. Can metronidazole tablets treat vaginal yeast infection? What are the side effects? Thank youDoctor's answer:
Candidal vaginitis is not suitable for the use of metronidazole tablets. You can use clotrimazole suppositories, one tablet per night, inserted into the vagina after wiping, with a course of 10 to 14 days; or miconazole nitrate suppositories, one tablet per night, applied to the vagina after wiping, with a course of 7 days. Wishing you good health. For severe cases of vaginitis, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can help you. Thank you.
