lets start off with i just finished off my antibiotic amoxicillin for my strept throat which in turn, gave me a yeast infection. this is like my second or third one i have had my whole life and im going on 21. and another thing, im also on my monthly =/ ... anyone have any home remedies that i can try or should i just go to walgreens and get a kit thingy?
Answer:
Just head the the drug store. Next time, get the MD to write you an RX for the yeast infection pill (Diflucan) at the same time you get the Amoxicillin RX. If you have a history of this problem, they will do this for you. Save yourself lots of trouble ;)
go to the pharmacy
go to walgreens there is no home remedy i don't believe.
how does amoxocillin give you a yeast infection? If you get one in your mouth, Gargle with yogurt.
Eat plain yogurt. Anytime you take antibiotics, eat plain yogurt.
Take a probiotic or lots or yogurt, always helps me
Of course, the Monistat products work well on yeast infection. If you need to save $$$, try plain yogurt with live cultures. It works.
The same thing just happened to me...try taking acidophilis pills...they should help fight the yeast infection. Then if that doesn't work your doctor can prescribe a pill to take that clears it up with one pill . ((If you don't like the creams that you can buy from the drug stores))
My mother taught me the old home remedy of soaking a tampon in white vinegar and inserting and leaving it for 6-8 hours, and you may have to repeat it once.
I did this and it was the most HORRIBLE BURNING PAIN I have ever had. I have no idea how she does it, but she swears by it. (Her vagina must be made of steel)
It did cure my yeast infection, but I will never never never never do it again. Now I just buy the kit at the store. The pain was not worth it for me.
Best of luck to you.
Check with your dr to see if it's ok to use an OTC yeast cream during your period.
Lay off the sugar and starch because they feed the yeast.
go get a kit from the store, but dont use tampons with the medicine and if you can stand it it would be best to wait to treat yourself till after your period is over and get some vagisal super strength for the outside burnng and itching, it helps loads
go to your doctor. dont use tampons for your period either. they will make the yeast infection worse. you cant treat the yeast infection til your period is done. see your doctor
you should get the kit
It's always a good idea to eat yogurt while taking antibiotics.. but that's a lesson for next time.
The kits at the drug store can be pretty tough to use if you're on your period. Call your doctor. If you describe your symptoms, they may call in a prescription for you for Diflucan. It's just a pill you can take that should help in a day or so.
