General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Acyclovir is an antiviral drug which is not given for a fungal infection however diflucan is a drug that is used for a fungal infection.
What I do not understand at the present moment is what your question at the moment is.
From what I can see you are having a urine infection for which you had a culture and you were given ciprofloxacin.
You should continue on these antibiotics and antifungals and continue a close follow up with your doctor.
