Need an antibiotic course

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Itching, irritation and discharge are typical symptoms seen in vaginal infections. If you have curdy white discharge then it could be due to candidiasis if greenish frothy discharge it could be due to Trichomoniasis. Hence, you must be examined by a gynecologist to identify the infective agent so that suitable antibiotics course could be started.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
