STREP.

i just got a call from my doctor with pap results i had done last week. they said i have a yeast infection (not having any symptoms) and that i have strep. what IS strep? i'm being given some antibiotics and two doses of diflucan. anyone have any info on the infection and how the hell i got it, etc? thanks.

they prescribed amoxicillin. when i got my very first pap done a few years ago, they told me i had a strep infection then too. it wasn't mentioned during any other pap smears that i've had, and i've had quite a few, until now. it wasn't treated then, and i don't know why they're treating it now. the only thing i'm experiencing is pain from a cyst i have. no yeast symptoms or anything out of the norm except what's related to my cyst. so it's a bit weird. thank you for the info though. <3.

amoxocillin is practically the same thing as penicillin, so that's fine. If you do get a chance, ask why they're treating it, and if it is indeed Strep B. It's just odd, and this kind of thing builds resistant bugs. Glad nothing is majorly wrong though.

i've been taking this same antibiotic so often since i was a kid, it's kind of strange. no wonder i'm sick all the time, i've built up such a resistance. i'm not understanding why it's being treated now; perhaps because i'm moving and wont have a doctor any longer once that happens, so they wanted to treat things before i left? who knows. thanks for all your info though, it really helped. xo
