Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am an 18-year-old female. I am 5 feet 4 inches tall and weigh 105 pounds. I am experiencing foul or rotten odors coming from my vagina, and I cannot figure out what it is or what I am doing wrong. This has been happening inconsistently for about 2 years. I have a history of taking medication for a similar issue, specifically for a yeast infection, but I cannot recall the name. My issue is foul or rotten vaginal odors. My medications are Cetirizine and Montelukast. Please help me.

Hi,

We welcome you to icliniq family.

I appreciate the confidence you place in me for your healthcare consultation.

I am truly sorry about your medical condition. Do not worry; I am here to take care of you. Regarding your symptoms, you have developed pelvic inflammatory disease caused by bacteria, fungi, or a virus. Please undergo a high vaginal and endo-cervical swab test and reply to me with the results. I suggest you take the following medications:

  1. Gyno-Daktarin (Miconazole) vaginal insertion - twice daily.
  2. Metronidazole 400 mg - orally three times a day.
  3. Co-Amoxiclav (a combination of Amoxicillin and clavulanic acid) 625 mg orally twice a day.
  4. Ketoconazole 200 mg orally once daily.

If your symptoms persist, schedule another appointment for follow-up via chat, phone, or video consultation.

You can always come back and reach me at icliniq.com.

Thank you for consulting me.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
