Possible yeast infection or worse????

Posted , 4 users are following.

I was prescribed doxycycline for a 10 day period to clear up a respiratory infection I had. As soon as I stopped taking the doxycycline, I begin having other symptoms within the next 2 days. Swollen lymph nodes in my neck and groin, fatigue, and what I initially thought was a yeast infection. I went to the dr for all these and he agreed and put me on diflucan and prednisone. I started both of these yesterday, but I'm concerned about the sores.... they're painful and round, white sores that are everywhere. Not just localized in one area. Should I go get a second opinion?? Or should I let the medicine run its course and see what happens?

Also, right before the "yeast infection" I had unprotected sex 2 nights in a row and did not clean myself up afterwards, I laid with cum laying in my vaginal area for at least 8 hours both nights (yes, very VERY stupid of me, I know). I usually always get up straight away and get cleaned up, but for some reason I didn't this time. 😩

    It seems like mono infection, and the doc put you on prednisone, suggests he suspects autoiimune reaction.

      I went to my OBGYN. She took one look at the sores and said definitely herpes. Did blood work to see if it was HPV1 or HPV2 and both came back negative! Not herpes. Must've been some crazy reaction to all the medicine and mono....
