How do I manage my syphilis on a daily basis?

The most important thing you can do to manage syphilis is to get treatment. The sooner you get treatment, the more likely the infection will be cured quickly. Treatment usually consists of an injection of penicillin. After treatment, doctors will perform blood tests to make sure treatment is working to get rid of the infection. While you're being treated, and until your blood tests come back negative, you should avoid having sex. You should also talk to your sex partners about your diagnosis of syphilis so that they can be tested and treated, too.

Healthwise answered:There is no home treatment for syphilis. It requires medicine prescribed by a doctor. Prescription antibiotic medicine normally cures syphilis infections. Syphilis does not cause long-term problems if it is treated before any complications develop. But syphilis can lead to many complications if it is not treated.
Make sure your partner knows that he or she needs to be treated even if there are no symptoms. You can spread the infection to others even if you do not have symptoms.
