hello,
Thank you for consulting HCM.Although reinfection after treated with pencillin is rare but make sure your partner is also treated well otherwise you may have chance of reinfection from your partner.You and your partner have to be tested with VDRL once again and according to that treatment will be prescribed.Usually TAB.DOXICYCLIN 100mg per oral twice a day for 14 days is prescribed.Before using any drugs you must consult your doctor for correct advice please dont prescribe medicines for yourself with the previous prescription.Thank you.
