The length of time it takes for antibiotics to clear a fungal infection depends on the severity of the infection, the type of fungus, and the type of antibiotic used. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks for the infection to clear up.
When a person has a fungal infection, they may be prescribed an antifungal medication, such as an antifungal cream, lotion, or pill. These medications can help reduce the amount of fungus on the skin or in the body and can help clear up the infection. However, it can take some time for the infection to completely clear up.
For some fungal infections, such as athlete’s foot, it can take anywhere from a week to a few weeks for the infection to clear up. For more serious infections, such as ringworm, it can take several weeks to several months for the infection to clear up.
In some cases, a person may be prescribed antibiotics to help clear up the infection. Antibiotics work by killing the fungus that is causing the infection. However, it can take some time for the antibiotics to work, and it can take several days to several weeks for the infection to clear up.
It is important to follow the instructions provided by your doctor when taking antibiotics and to finish the entire course of antibiotics as prescribed. If the infection does not clear up after the course of antibiotics, you should contact your doctor.
