Never share your socks, shoes, and towel with others. Finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Avoid getting it in the eyes, nose, or mouth. If accidental exposure occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Inform your doctor if the infection has not cleared up after 4 weeks of treatment. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding.
