Patient's question:
In April 2011, the symptoms of fungal vaginitis began to manifest, and it has not yet been cured. In December, the consumption of traditional Chinese medicine began. This week, herpes has appeared on the fingers, and the dermatologist prescribed Valacyclovir Hydrochloride tablets. Is this an antibiotic? Can it be taken? Will it trigger a fungal outbreak?Doctor's answer:
The medication prescribed by your doctor is an antiviral drug, which can be taken. For candidiasis, it is important to use broad-spectrum antibiotics cautiously. It is recommended that you undergo systematic treatment for candidiasis, using antifungal drugs such as nystatin for treatment. At the same time, local vaginal lavage can be performed to alter the pH of the vagina and destroy the environment where the fungus thrives. During treatment, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited, and it is important to drink plenty of water and get adequate rest! The condition of vaginitis is quite severe, and it is advised that patients seek immediate treatment and follow the doctor's recommendations for targeted therapy. Additionally, proper self-care and a balanced diet should be maintained to avoid worsening the condition. The above advice is hoped to be helpful to you. Thank you.
