Treatment for PID?

I was diagnosed with PID 4 days ago. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how long I would have to take the antibiotics before I would start noticing the symptoms going away? Thanks

"How is it treated?

Antibiotics are the treatment of choice for pelvic inflammatory disease. They are usually taken by mouth (orally) for 14 days. To prevent reinfection, sexual partners are also evaluated and treated for any STDs. It is important to avoid sex during the treatment period."

It should only be a matter of a few hours for the antibiotics to be in your system, so you should start feeling results pretty soon after starting the medication.

if you are not feeling better by 72 hrs you should run back to the doctors. you may need to be in the hospital for IV antibiotics if it is truly PID
