Any alternative to Metronidazole?

Yes an alternative is clindamycin and in serious cases, one of the newer fluoroquinolone antibiotics. For example, moxifloxacin, levofloxacin, gatifloxacin etc.. You'll need a prescription for any of these, so get off to a doctor or dentist a.s.a.p. before it gets worse. If you're sensitive to the penicilin family of antibioics you are probably also sensitive to the cephalosporin group too. Tell the doctor about your sensitivity. Incidentally metronidazole (Flagyl), and alcohol will give the mother of all hangovers. Absolutely, no alcohol consumption when you are on that very good antibiotic.\nDoc. Dan.

Trichomoniasis can usually be cured with the prescription drug, metronidazole, given by mouth in a single dose. The symptoms of trichomoniasis in infected men may disappear within a few weeks without treatment. However, an infected man, even a man who has never had symptoms or whose symptoms have stopped, can continue to infect or re-infect a female partner until he has been treated. Therefore, both partners should be treated at the same time to eliminate the parasite. Persons being treated for trichomoniasis should avoid sex until they and their sex partners complete treatment and have no symptoms. Metronidazole can be used by pregnant women. Having trichomoniasis once does not protect a person from getting it again. Following successful treatment, people can still be susceptible to re-infection.

Musinex, works well.  You just need to remember to stay hydrated because it dries out all your mucus membranes.

it depends on where the infection is.  Flagyl is good for internal infections but needs a prescription.  Maybe lotromin?

After Metronidazole therapy, Paromomycin should be started.

Get an anti fungal cream. They're available at the drugstore (ask your pharmacist) or at the grocery store. DO NOT use crystal violet dye. My dad (true story, I'm sorry to say) who's a scientist used some because he read it would kill jock itch. It turned his balls and dick purple and made the fungus mutate. To this day, I wish I'd seen the doctor's face when daddy dropped trou! :-)

I've heard that Mederma works well.  It's a little bit expensive, but it's probably worth it, and it's available over-the-counter.  I've seen it at Wal-Mart and other drugstores.

I really hope that you are not serious. Go back to the doc and have him place your son on a generic antibiotic much cheaper.
