It is important to visit the doctor if you are experiencing any of the following pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) symptoms, such as; pelvic pain, high body temperature, and unusual discharge. If ofloxacin does not cure you, I suggest you not replace it with metronidazole, as PID usually needs a variety of drugs to be healed properly, without first consulting a doctor. I advise that you make an appointment with your gynecologist to discuss the symptoms and find the most suitable approach. This can only be achieved through timely management and regular health checks by PID.
