Is Having Sex Safe After Taking Antibiotics?

I was diagnosed with some sort of infection in my foot and I was given antibiotics to treat it. I was just wondering if it is still safe to have sex and oral as well... Someone told me that going down on a woman on antibiotics, can give the man thrush...?

Hi,

Yes, you can have sex safely while taking antibiotics prescribed for foot infection. There is no documented evidence that the fungal infection or 'oral thrush' can spread from woman on antibiotics to a man during sexual activity.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
