The medication for gynecological inflammation needs to be determined based on the specific type of inflammation and the causative pathogens. Commonly used drugs for treating gynecological inflammations include the following options:

1. Bacterial vaginitis: Common medications include antibiotics such as metronidazole and clindamycin, which can be taken orally or applied locally.

2. Fungal vaginitis (yeast infection): Commonly used medications include antifungal drugs such as fluconazole and clotrimazole, usually applied locally in the form of suppositories or creams.

3. Trichomoniasis: Commonly used medications include metronidazole or tinidazole, which can be taken orally or applied locally.

4. Cervicitis: Mild cervicitis can be relieved by improving hygiene habits and lifestyle changes. Moderate to severe inflammation may require antibiotics or antiviral drugs, such as Kangongyan Dispersible Tablets, Kangongyan Pills, or Kangongyan Capsules.

5. Pelvic inflammatory disease: Treatment can involve a combination of Western and traditional Chinese medicine. For antibiotics, medications such as amoxicillin and cefuroxime can be used. Traditional Chinese medicine, such as Qianjin Capsules and Gynecological Qianjin Tablets, can be combined to achieve effects of clearing heat, removing dampness, promoting blood circulation, and resolving blood stasis.

Before using any medication, it is recommended to use drugs rationally under a doctor's guidance and maintain good personal hygiene.
