Syphilis uses penicillin. However, not all people are able to take penicillin
for curing. They can use other kinds of penicillin which is suitable with the

use of penicillin cannot become the standard. Taking penicillin is also part of

done before the syphilis bacterium infects more. The use of penicillin is
divided into three parts. The alternative in using penicillin therapy is done for
the people who have allergic with penicillin. Sufferers of Syphilis can use Tetracycline, erythromycin, and ceftriaxone. It is

is Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction. This kind of therapy is done to cure certain
kind of symptom like headache, fever, and even the syphilis lesion. The other
therapy is procaine toxicity. However, the effect is not too good even though
it is a mild one. The patients may have hallucination after taking the therapy.
Other treatment is surgery. It cannot be done in the early
stage. In all of medical cases, surgery is done for the last effort. In the Syphilis
treatment, it is done in the third stage of the Syphilis symptoms. Then, it
will be done when sufferers have complication. One of the examples is that when
the patients need to replace the aortic valve.
