Used Miconazole And Clotrimazole For Yeast Infection After Sex. Have Sore Throat. Is It Due To Yeast Infection?

default
Posted on Fri, 13 Dec 2013
Question: Had sex with girlfriend and hours later was itching . Found out she had a yeast infection. Used over counter miconazole and clotrimazole. It has provided some relief but after 2 weeks the itching starts again. Skin on scrotum is red but doesn't blister or break. No bumps or anything just itchy. Also now my throat or vocal cords sore ( do have some occasionional reflux which might agitate vocal cords). What do I do if the over the counter is not working. Ive taken it faithfully as prescribed for just 3 weeks. Could the yeast infection be related vocal cord soreness when talk and swallow. Any advice and input would be appreciated.

Brief Answer: You apparently have a concurrent mixed infection Detailed Answer: Hi there, Thanks for your query. From the information provided, it is apparently a case of sexually transmitted disease, due to chlamydia, yeast and/or gonococci, causing oral + genital infection. Oral infection spreads by oral sex/kissing an infected partner. The reasons for non-response to the medicines include, concurrent treatment of all infections; resistance to the drugs taken; or, inadequate duration/dose of drug. You should therefore treat yourself with both : gonococcal + chlamydial + yeast infection concurrently. I will therefore recommend that you take Azithromycin 1 gm (single dose) on day 1; followed by 500mg daily for one week; Doxycycline 100mg twice a day for one week; and, Tab Fluconazole 150mg once a day for 3 weeks. In addition, there is also a strong possibility of Herpes infection. Get yourself investigated for this viral infection, which- incidentally- is incurable, and tends to flare up repeatedly in future. Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he agrees with my opinion and clinical acumen; order required tests, and- based on the reports- will arrive at a certain diagnosis and prescribe suitable treatment as advised. Hope I have addressed to your concerns to your complete satisfaction and you find my response helpful and informative. I will be happy to answer further queries, if any. Fond regards and have a nice day, Dr. Rakesh Karanwal
