Taking amoxicillin for a new syphilis infection won’t work.
Syphilis is caused when people are infected with the syphilis spirochete. Patients just infected with syphilis diagnosed disease, because amoxicillin belongs to the broad-spectrum antibiotics, for syphilis is poorly targeted, so the therapeutic effect is relatively poor. It is recommended that patients choose long-acting penicillin, benzylpenicillin, ampicillin and other drugs to kill syphilis spirochetes under the guidance of a professional doctor, which helps to inhibit the replication of syphilis spirochetes.
Those who are allergic to penicillins can choose doxycycline and tetracycline instead, and penicillin allergy in pregnancy can choose erythromycin instead.
Patients should also pay more attention to their physical condition during treatment. As the disease progresses, it may cause damage to the cardiovascular system as well as the nervous system, so it is recommended that patients go to the hospital regularly for review, and timely treatment according to the course of treatment or adjusting the amount of medication used, which will help improve the quality of life.
