I was diagnosed with genital herpes and the doctor gave me an antviral antibiotic augmentin 625 and zinase d, but he also game me fucidin cream to apply directly on the sores. I saw that fucidin is not for viral diseases only for bacterial ones..so why did he give me fucidin?Please help i am in great pain and the swelling doesn t seem to go away.
Hi, I am sorry for the health problems you are going through. Genital herpes is associated with pain, and blisters. Your doctor prescribed Kinase d for the pain, while applying funding cream on the blisters. Perhaps they seem to be coinfected with bacterial infection. Please send a photo to evaluate the changes myself. Sometimes, due to scratching or if the blisters open up, they can become coinfected with bacterial infection explaining also why he prescribed augmenting to you. I advise coming back to your doctor and gently ask to also prescribe an anti-viral cream (acyclovir cream) to apply locally. Wish fast recovery.
