Suggest Remedy For Pain And Burning Sensation Caused By Vaginal Cellulitis

Posted on Sat, 19 Dec 2015

Question: I have been diagnosed with vaginal cellulitis yesterday. I was given Bactrim and Bactrian ointment. I'm wondering how long before I fell some relief from the pain and burning, it's pretty severe. No fever or any other problems.

Brief Answer:
Take a pain killer too.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
After starting an antibiotic, it takes around 48 hours to show and effect and have some relief. You can take a mild pain killer like ibuprofen round the clock and do a hot compress in the area for an earlier relief.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
