You should consult a gynaecologist, if you're having repeated vaginal infection then get your blood sugar levels done and get a high vaginal swab culture and sensitivity done, so that you can be treated according to the reports.

Doctor, I had a laser ablation surgery for pilonidal sinus last month and again a curettage and ablation surgery last week. And now I had got some infection on the wound for the last three days. I am having antibiotic of ofloxacin and ornidazole. Is this tablet useful as there is some pus discharge. Please do consider my case.

Daily cleaning and dressings are generally required with antibiotic cover depending on the wound swab culture. If your test showed bacterial sensitive to oflox and ornidazole it is good medication. However I would insist you show it to a plastic surgeon and get few dressings done which may speed up healing.

High vaginal swab (hvs) is a technique used in obstetrics and gynaecology to obtain a sample of discharge from the vagina. This is then sent for microscopy, culture and sensitivity. It is commonly used to test for the presence of candidiasis infection, bacterial vaginosis and trichomonas vaginalis.

If after taking antibiotics for 13 days, and doing betadine gargle 3 times a day, still you can see vesicles in the throat, you need to take a swab for bacterial culture and antibiotic sensitivity, and take culture specific antibiotics. Please consult an ENT surgeon who will do the needful in this regard.
