Got a yeast infection from taking antibiotics...done a home treatment and the Diflucan pill-not gone yet-help!

Q. I was taking antibiotics for a toothache recently and about halfway through the antibiotic....I got a yeast infection. I did the Monistat one day treatment but still had to finish the antibiotics. The one day didn't work so I got the Diflucan pill. I took that, and while it helped to get rid of the infection for the most part....I still have lingering itching. What can i do to help this to go away???

A. I would see the doc. You may need something stronger than what you can get over the counter. Anti-biotics are notorious for that! UGH! I hate it! good luck! :)

yeast infections home treatments?
Q. what are some ways to treat a yeast infection at home?

A. You can easily go to a local supermarket or pharmacy and buy Monistat or some other OTC yeast infection treatment. Also, as a preventative measure, yogurt (eaten, not applied) is a great food that can ward off future infections.

However, keep in mind that a good percentage of women who think they have yeast infections, actually have some other minor infection or STD and although OTC drugs treat the itch and burning that comes with the infection, it may be likely that the infection can return or worse that you might be covering up something more serious and prolonging it. Also, if this is the second or third time that you've had a yeast infection, I would definitely go see a doctor to see if it's anything more than a regular yeast infection.
