Yeast infection – FAQ

Ques:

Pms-Fluconazole will take how many days to get rid of the yeast infection?

Description:

I am taking pms-Fluconazole for the yeast infection as it is prescribed by the doctor. I have taken it on Monday. It is written on the package that the symptoms will go in few days. The medicine is also showing its effect but there is nothing on the package that how long will it take to cure it completely? Can anyone help me

Ans:

You can take the information from the packaging or the instruction sheets for the prescription. You can call the pharmacy- there is no requirement to give your name, and they will be the best ones who can answer your question. Doctors can also answer this question correctly. So, you can also contact your doctor who had prescribed you to get your answer.

If it was me, then I would definitely wait for a week from the time I have started taking the medicine. But I am not a doctor; so I can't give you the proper advice to you. But I think that it will take at least seven days to cure you completely from the yeast infection.

Ques:

How can I cure yeast infection when on antibiotics?

Description:

Every time when I got ill I am prescribed an antibiotic. Through antibiotic I got the yeast infection. Is there any reliable way which can prevent me? Can I take yogurt? Please help me?

Ans:

1) You can take acidophiles while taking the antibiotic. Yogurt alone is not enough to fight from the antibiotics. You would have to take a yogurt factory to get the help. Taking one container per day is good for only irritable bowel syndrome. My friend was taking yogurt every day but still got the yeast infection. So, I will not suggest it as a treatment for your problem. You can take the acidophiles; two in the morning and two at the night.

2) You can take the help from your doctor by asking a diflucan pill for the yeast infection.

3) You can also take monistat to cure your yeast infection.

After taking antibiotics it is very common to have yeast infection. So, you can handle this situation by three above choices.

Ques:

How much time does yeast infection take to heal naturally?

Description:

Few days ago my small sister who is just four years old got the yeast infection because of extra intake of cow milk according to our family doctor. Cow milk contains sugar in high amounts and high intake of sugar is the main cause of yeast infection in children. I am thinking is it fine to cure it naturally if yes, then how much time will it take to cure it?

Ans:

Just don’t do that other wise it will get worse. You have to take some medicine to cure it because it can never be cured naturally. You can use ointment as many ointments are available in the market. Just contact your doctor for this. You can use the ointment two times a day i.e. in morning and in night for one week. You will find that your sister is feeling much better than sitting and itching.

You can also take monistat to cure the yeast infection of your sister. It is commonly recommended by the pharmacists and doctors. It is available in the market in 7, 3, 1 day treatment programs. So, don’t let it be cured naturally, try any one of them.

Ques:

Can I use home remedies to cure yeast infection?

Description:

I have tried many medicines like Diflucan, Terazol to cure yeast infection but nothing happened. I went to a doctor and he prescribed me Nizoral. I've taken it before but it did not work. Are there any home remedies that I can try to cure the yeast infection completely?

Ans:

You can use garlic paste on the affected portion. This home remedy is not for a vaginal yeast infection. If you are having vaginal yeast infections then do not try it. It is for other affected parts of the body.

You can drink two glasses of the buttermilk per day.

You can also try a mixture of the olive leaf extract and grapefruit seed extraction with a glass of water. It is a good curative tonic for yeast infection.

Curd is one of the best home remedies for the yeast infection. Mainly, the healthy required bacteria from the curds replace the unhealthy yeast bacteria.

The tea tree oil, first diluted and then applied on the affected area has shown some potential as the natural home remedy for the yeast infection. A compound named as terpinen-4-ol in the tea tree oil is responsible. But remember before using tea tree oil it must be diluted.
