What does the penicillin shot treat?
What does doxycycline monohydrate treat?
Why are both given?
I had a scare that I was tested for. The test and treatment (penicillin shot) were done yesterday. I was given the antibiotics and told to start the 7-day treatment as well. Last night I received unprotected oral from a female that could be infected, directly after my penicillin shot (about 2 hours later). I still have not started my antibiotics.
If she was infected and if it was given to me (if I’m not positive for the test I had yesterday already) , will the penicillin be ineffective or will it still work against anything I contract immediately after the shot? Will my antibiotics help anything if I begin the cycle the day after I was infected (meaning starting them today)?
I know how ignorant I am, so go easy on me please. No positive test for either person, just some symptoms.
