Yeast Infections Meds
Should I finish my antibiotics before taking meds for my yeast infection?
I have 4 more days of antibiotics for my uti infection. Because of this I now have a yeast infection as well 
Since I heard that the antibiotics are the reason why I now have a yeast infection (because all of the good bacteria is being killed as well) should I wait until I am no longer taking the antibiotics to start taking something for the yeast infection. I am absolutely miserable and really don’t want to wait (the antibiotics are making my throw up).
You can buy OTC Monistat cream that you insert into your vagina. It is anti-fungal cream that kills yeast. I was allergic to it so be careful. I stopped using it because of that and then my doctor prescribed me diflucan, 3 days worth. I don’t really think it helped because i have still have a little itching and my vagina is practically swollen now (sorry if tmi) and i have still have discharge. Antibiotics definitely seem to be a friend and an enemy at the same time. Go to www.earthclinic.com, click on ailments and then yeast infection. There are some natural remedies you can try if you want to wait until you finish up your current meds for UTI. Also, eat yogurt or take acidophilus supplements as they contain L.acidophilus, the good bacteria we have in our vagina and digestive tract to keep yeast in check. This should help regulate the ph while taking antibiotics.
