Hello Dolly. As you are suffering from PID since 6 months and haven't seen any improvement even after complete course of antibiotics then I would suggest you to get checked for antibiotics resistance as PID is very stubborn disease and post result you should start the antibiotics course again and complete it . And after even this you don't get cured I would suggest to consult obg gynec for laproscopic surgery to remove pus and scar tissue I would also suggest pain killer for your pain like zerodol sp And inclusion of anti inflammatory diet like omega 3 . Thank you hope u find this helpful

Hi Dolly, I’m really sorry you’ve been struggling with PID for the past six months. I can only imagine how draining it must be, especially when the pain and swelling keep getting worse despite treatment. Let’s focus on a few things that might help you manage your symptoms better: Suggestions to Help Manage PID: 1. Antibiotic Course: • PID can be stubborn, and sometimes it requires a strict combination of antibiotics taken over 14 days to fully clear the infection. If you haven’t completed a full course recently, you may want to check with your doctor about trying this again. 2. Pain Relief: • You can use Drotaverine (Drotin-M) or ibuprofen for the pain, ideally after food, and take it on an SOS basis with at least an 8-hour gap between doses. 3. Rest and Recovery: • It’s important to avoid any activities that might aggravate the pelvic area, like intercourse or using tampons, until the inflammation has healed. 4. Warm Compress: • Applying a warm compress on your lower abdomen may ease the swelling and cramping. 5. Maintain Proper Hygiene: • Practice gentle perineal care (wipe front to back), and wear loose, breathable clothing to minimize irritation. Diet and Lifestyle: • Eat an anti-inflammatory diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and foods high in omega-3 fatty acids (like walnuts, chia seeds, or fish). • Stay hydrated and get as much rest as possible to support your body’s healing. When to Seek Further Help: Since your symptoms seem to be getting worse, I’d recommend visiting a gynecologist who specializes in pelvic infections for a detailed evaluation. They might suggest a pelvic ultrasound to check for any abscesses or complications. I know this journey hasn’t been easy, but hang in there, Dolly. With the right treatment plan, you can get better.
