Does anyone have suggestions for relieving the pain, burning, and itching associated with a yeast infection? Is there a cream that works particularly well or a soak that I should put in the bathtub??
I am currently taking an antibiotic for acne, and Wednesday morning I woke up with the yeast infection from hell.
I called the doctor, and was prescribed a Diflucan pill, which I took Wednesday afternoon. I was not any better this afternoon, so I called the pharmacist, who recommended that I take my second Diflucan pill. I'm not better yet, but I have to make it through the weekend before I can see the doctor. That's why I need suggestions-- quickly! This is the worse infection I've ever had!
Thanks in advance for any help!

U are experiencing the yeast die off. I would take a potent probiotic w/ the antibiotic that your taking like pb-8, or primal defense the ones I like also kyodophilus is not bad either. Avoid sugar and dairy it will make it worse especially sugar. The purpose of the probiotic is to restore the friendly bacteria u are killing with the antibiotic- this is essential.
There is a concentrated anti-itch cream non-steroidal that works by aveeno its comes in 2oz and 4 oz. But I like using a combination of a quality aloevera cream with clotrimazole cream, Also, Jojoba(sp.?)oil is supposed to help but never tried it. I would also change the oils u use to cook w/ to virgin cocconut oil -it has some antibiotic properties to it especially against candida but it is saturated- its what they use to make caprilic acid which is a great natural antibiotic for candida. Also, gargle w/ grapefruit seed extract if it gets in your throat.Do your research. Hope this helps.

My wife used to get terrible yeast infections when she went on antibiotics until she started preceeding antibiotic use with the consumption of yogert with live acidophilus in it. As long as she does this she no longer gets yeast infections.
