After taking Ceftum 500mg for 10 days, I developed a vaginal fungal infection with itching, thick white discharge, and a burning sensation. My doctor has prescribed Levotiz, Allegra 180mg, and It-mac 200mg; are these the right medicines for my condition?

Yes, these medicines are appropriate for your condition. Taking Ceftum (an antibiotic) for 10 days likely wiped out the healthy vaginal bacteria, leading to a yeast overgrowth. Here is how your new medicines will help: It-mac 200mg (Itraconazole): This is an oral antifungal medication that directly targets and clears the underlying fungal infection causing your discharge and burning. Levotiz and Allegra 180mg: These are antihistamines prescribed to quickly relieve the intense itching and vaginal irritation. Take them exactly as prescribed. To aid recovery, wear loose cotton underwear, avoid scented hygiene products, and consider a probiotic to restore healthy bacteria.
