I was diagnosed with Tinea (jock itch) around 3 months ago. I was prescribed Momoz - T ointment and itraconazole tablets for 15 days. After 15 days was told to apply luliconazole cream. While the condition improved for 15 days, on stopping Momoz-T and applying luliconazole the redness returned with a vengeance. Doctor once again told me to take Momoz T and stop luliconazole along with a Terbinafine tablet. The condition improved mildly but now for the last week I have got a large area of redness and slight burning. Doctor now said it is a secondary infection of Erythrasma and prescribed erythromycin, Zinc +Vit C tablet and ketoconazole tablet. Last 3 days I have been following the same but now there is slight itching and burning has increased. My question is, is it normal for the medicine to start showing results after 3 days at least or should I be worried that even this treatment may fail? When will I be able to tell that the medicine is working? Are there any natural methods to speed up the healing? Is the burning normal when taking an antibiotic?

Scarlet fever is usually treated with a 10-day course of antibiotics. This is often in the form of penicillin or amoxicillin tablets, although liquid may be used for young children. For people who are allergic to penicillin, alternative antibiotics such as erythromycin can be used instead.

There may be throat or tonsillar infection. Take plenty of oral fluids, proper gargling of mounth twice a day after mouth. If pain persists a simple antibiotic like azhithromycin or erythromycin usually helps. Since it is already 3 weeks, if no relief see ent specialist.
