Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Along with the infection-causing organism, this investigation also comes with an antibiogram. An antibiogram provides information on which antibiotics can be used, and which cannot.

But if at all you were not provided with this information, then the most effective medication I would recommend is ciprofloxacin 500 mg (twice daily for 7 days). I would also like to ask if you were on antibiotics prior to this? The candida may require anti-fungal medication, and you can try the application of clotrimazole vaginal cream twice daily for 7-10 days.

I hope you find my response helpful. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.

Best wishes.
