<human>: About 4 days ago I had unprotected intercourse. Immediately following intercourse my labia became EXTREMELY swollen. The next morning i had a nasty itch that would not go away. The next night i noticed paper-cut looking cuts on my labia. I made an appt and had my blood drawn to test for possible herpes virus, My blood work has not come back yet but the culture came back e coli positive. Do these symptoms fall under e coli?
<bot>: Thanks to Chat Doctor I can understand your concerning worry swollen labia is due to inflammation in that area I t may be tight unprotected intercourse itching is also due to infection with bacteria or fungi so please take antibiotic like definite 200 mg along with metro 400 mg twice daily for 3 to 5 days and anti-inflammatory like cello plus for 3 days twice .you can apply clotrimazole v cream along the swollen area.blood reports may show the bacterial or fungal infection only .it will subside within 3 to 5 days avoid intercourse for 5 days till it subside .ok
