Hello
Welcome to the forum and thanks for the query
Yes , you can take oral tablets containing fluconazole , azithromycin and tinidazole combinations.The kits are available in the market but should be taken under doctor's guidance.Other antibiotics like clindamycin , secnidazole can be added depending upon the severity and type of infection.It can be candida , trichomonas , mixed infection or bacterial vaginosis.The pH of vagina is to be maintained with vaginal wash.Always keep the area dry , avoid swim suits and wear cotton, loose undergarments.Always wipe from front to back so as to avoid anal contamination.Do not use perfumed shower gels and deo's.Regular use of probiotics avoids the recurrent infections.
Best wishes
Any further query is most welcome.
