I was treated with confirmed infection...on friday evening...its now monday morning and i still have some discharge....I did drink on halloween about 7 beers...would that have reversed the effect ofthe shot

Accepted Answer

Thank you for the clarification,

It can take up to 7 days for your symptoms to completely resolve. If they are not gone in that period of time, you need to return to your doctor for a recheck.
The alcohol will not affect your treatment.
As long as your symptoms are improving, I would not be concerned as it has only been 2 1/2 to 3 days since the injection.
You do need to refrain from having sex until your symptoms are completely gone (like I stated above-7 days).

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.
