Suggestion after tests came negative for STD but still have symptoms: shoukd I take ciprofloxacin?
- Unprotected sex last week of March. I was insertive/top partner.
- White discharge from penis by 6 April.
- I got tested for chlamydia, trichomoniasis, and Gonorrhoea on the 7th. Tests all came back negative on the 9th.
- because I was leaving on a 11 days trip on the 10th of April, I went to another emergency sexual health clinic right before taking the plane.
- they tested for clam and gono, and gave me an injection and a a 7-days course of doxy.
- throat swab and urine tests all came back *negative*, again.
- symptoms cleared 6-7 days later, so by April 17.
- symptoms came back yesterday on the 23, I have a small white discharge.
- during my trip I had a dry cough which was a leftover from a small cold, which was made worst by the constant air conditioning during the trip.
- because of the persistant dry cough, during my trip my mom gave me ciprofloxacin. She said it was given by her doctor as a “fix-all” solution if she’s sick when travelling.
- I did NOT take it.
- now I’m considering taking it, since the STD symptoms are back.
Any thoughts?
Thank you.
