HOW DO YOU TREAT GONORRHEA?
Gonorrhea can be cured with the right treatment, and the cure rate is usually over 90%. Medication for gonorrhea will stop the infection, but it will not repair any permanent damage done by the disease. If a person's symptoms continue for more than a few days after receiving treatment, he or she should return to a health care provider to be reevaluated.
GONORRHEA MEDICATION
The fluoroquinones are a powerful group of antibiotics used to treat many infections and are good for gonorrhea infections. example includes;
1. Ciprofloxacin
2. ofloxacin
3.levofloxacin
4. moxifloxacin
However, because of incresing resistance of many tested samples of N. gonorrhoeae to the fluoroquinolone drugs, the CDC now recommends that only one class of antibiotics, the cephalosporins, be used to treat gonorrheal infections. example of this drugs include;
1. Rocephine (injection)
2. Cefuroxime
3. Cefixime
4. Cefaclor
These are prescription medicines, and you need to talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using them. Don't abuse drugs. for women who are pregnant or younger than 18 years of age, the doctor will usually prescribe the injection, usually one shot instead of a pill.
SEXUAL PARTNERS ARE TO BE TREATED AS WELL.
A person who is diagnosed and treated for gonorrhea should inform all recent sexual partners so they can be diagnosed and treated as well. This will both reduce the risk of serious complications from gonorrhea in the sex partner and the person's risk of reinfection.
A person with gonorrhea and all of his or her sex partners must avoid having sex until they have completed their treatment for gonorrhea and until they are adequately treated. - NobleDoctor.
