Brief Answer:
treatment is appropriate
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir, thanks for trusting health care magic.
The treatment prescribed to her is optimum.
Fluconazole will treat candida a fungal infection, metronidazole will treat gram negative bacteria and trichomonas.
Thus all organisms will be covered and application of canestan cream will have early site specific action for fast relief till action of above drugs is awaited.
Take all these as prescribed and also ask her to take care of the local hygiene.
For your prophylactic treatment take triokit or ASF kit which is a combination of azithromycin, fluconazole and secnidazole.
Take the kit once only in same day, the day your partner starts her treatment.
I hope this will help you fight the infection if any.
All the best

Thank you for your response. I didn't quite understand you. Are you saying all the medications I mentioned ( Diflucan,Flagyl and Canesten cream, ciprofloxacin ) as recommended for her by the doctor will treat and cover all organisms ?
As for the triokit you recommended, should I just walk into a pharmacy store and ask for Triokit or ASF kit ? I have been experiencing some burning in my penis since yesterday afternoon, after holding my pee for long as I was in traffic driving. Thanks for your help.
