Suggest Treatment For Abscess In Vagina With Strep Infection

Yes, I have been diagnosed with Strephococcus Group B and my Dr has given me Zinnat 500mg twice daily. My symptons are vaginal not bronchial. I feel that this is not going to help my serious condition as I think I have an abcess which is getting worse by the day..

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
From your description, it appears that what the doctor has prescribed is right. Each tablet of Zinnat contains 500 mg cefuroxime, which is a broad spectrum antibiotic, used to treat bacterial infections in the body.
Hence, your abscess should subside with the course of antibiotics you are taking.
In case it does not respond promptly, then it indicates that the abscess could be deep seated and should be drained surgically.
Kindly consult Gynecologist or Surgeon for the clinical assessment and appropriate surgical management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
