yeast infection and antibiotics?
I have been on an antibiotic for a week and a half for a nasty sinus infection (and the sinus headaches are still HORRIBLE, but anyway…) of course I now have a lovely yeast infection most likely from taking the antibiotic….so, should i stop taking the antibiotic and treat the yeast infection…or continue taking the antibiotic and treat the yeast infection???
You can treat the yeast infection with garlic. I know, sounds gross, but it’s cheap and works wonders. A friend wraps a peeled clove in a thin layer of gauze and ties a string around it so it can be pulled out. Changes it twice a day.
Me, I went by what my “How to Herb” book suggested. Whiz 2 cloves in a blender with body temperature water and strain. Use 1 quart water. Douche. Took the itch and pain away instantly. I only had to do it once or twice a day for 2 days.
As far as stopping the antibiotics, I don’t know. I’ve heard that you should always finish them once started, but I don’t know why. I use natural remedies. Echinaciea, Golden Seal, and eating garlic would be good choices in place of anti-biotics.
Anti-biotics can also cause the friendly flora in the intestines to die. So, if you end up with diarrhea after this is all over I would suggest buying Acidophilus.
You can also try rubbing an ice cube over the sinus for a minute followed by hot cloths over the area for about 3 minutes. Alternate between the 2 for 20 minutes and you’ll find relief. Warm draws the blood to the area and cold forces it away so the blood circulation is going strong and that’s where your immune system is. If you can take a 1/2 hour or so to soak your feet in hot water (as hot as you can stand it and add more as it cools – that’s where it’s good to have a friends help) your headache will get better, too.
Lots of natural things to try. Hope it doesn’t scare you away but gives you courage to try something new.
Hope you find relief from the ailments soon. Nasty things, those sinus infections and now to add a yeast infection! yuck
