Amoxicilin

by qwerty322, Jun 29, 2009 05:03AM
Got two questions, 1) Can  amoxicilin  cure gonorrhea coz a friend tell me that if u get a dosage of 3 grams of amoxilin, it will help cure and kill the bacteria. History : i had unprotected sex and past  two weeks i party all night and after that, i got yellowish discharge but i dont get any fever, pain during urination and my penis looks normal... 2nd; the girl i had sex with had no sign of gonorrhea ( coz she's my gf)  - can this bacteria be a dormant and trigger if my inmune system go down.

We don't advise self medication at any point here so I am not going to tell you what will cure what.
You need to see a Dr and get tested.

Someone can have a STD and not know it because it does not have to produce symptoms.

Gonorrhea doesn't go dormant, but the vast majority of women do not show symptoms. Please get tested.

The test for chlyamidia and gonorrhea are really easy - you just have to pee in a cup. The reason why you can't self-medicate with STDs is because only a test will determine what you really have, and some antibiotics work for some STDs and do nothing for others. 3g of amoxicillin combined with 1g of probenecid USED to be an effective treatment for gonorrhea, but not anymore. Many cases are resistant to this treatment, so other antibiotics are now used. We're talking about your bits-and-pieces, why risk permenant damage? Go get tested and treated properly. It is nothing to be ashamed of. Every sexually-active person should be tested once or twice a year. I get screened every time I go for a check-up. If you don't want to go to your primary doctor, there are STD clinics in every county where you can be tested for free (or little cost), and sometimes get the results and treatment the same day.

Best of luck..
