Understanding Common Infections
Infections occur when harmful microorganisms—such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites—enter the body and multiply. Prompt and correct treatment is essential to clear the infection and prevent potential complications.
Commonly Treated Infections
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTI): Including cystitis (treated with Nitrofurantoin).
- Skin Infections: Such as infected eczema or cellulitis (managed with Fucidin or Flucloxacillin).
- Viral Flare-ups: Including cold sores or genital herpes (treated with Aciclovir).
- Fungal Rashes: Such as ringworm or yeast infections (managed with Daktacort or Fluconazole).
Focus on Recovery
Most infections require a specific course of medication—whether antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals. It is vital to follow the prescribed dosage and complete the full course, even if you start to feel better before the medication is finished.
Safety and Responsibility
- Always report your symptoms accurately to ensure the correct medication is prescribed.
- Do not share medication with others.
- Practice good hygiene, such as frequent handwashing, to prevent the spread of infection.
