What is Antifungal Treatment?
Antifungals are medicines that fight fungal infections affecting the skin, nails, mouth, lungs, or bloodstream. They can be applied topically, taken orally, or given intravenously for severe infections.
This treatment helps to:
- Eliminate fungal infections like athlete’s foot, ringworm, or yeast infections
- Treat serious systemic infections such as aspergillosis or candidiasis
- Relieve symptoms like itching, redness, or discomfort
- Prevent complications in patients with weakened immune systems
What to expect during treatment?
Improvement may take days to weeks depending on the infection’s severity and location.
- Relief from itching, irritation, or pain
- Gradual clearing of skin or nail changes
- Possible mild side effects like nausea, headache, or stomach upset
- Longer follow-up needed for systemic or recurring infections
