How to temporarily treat yeast infection?
I am currently on antibiotics, and because of that, I have developed a yeast infection. Tomorrow I am going to call my doctor and have him call in a prescription to treat it, but until then, is there a way to treat it? The itching is driving me insane! I bought some of those Vagisil medicated anti-itch wipes, they don’t seem to help much. Please help if you can.

Hi, i am a fellow sufferer. I use natural yoghurt on a tampon. If you can get some probiotic with the natural bacteria on it really helps. I’m not kidding by the way. It works for me.
Slather plain yogurt over the area. Sounds nasty but it works to counteract the infection. My sympathies!
I remember being young and crying on the phone to the nurse about my yeast infection – i had no idea what it was and it was itching like CRAZY!
I don’t know what could help the itching, but cranberry juice is an antiseptic for the bladder, so that could help you. If you’re having pain urinating it should help.
I’ve heard of the effectiveness of a Hydrogen peroxide douche. You make a 30% solution (no more) of it in water and douche with it as needed, it supposedly restores the pH of the vaginal area to a more undesireable range for yeast to grow. Part of the overgrowth (infection) of the yeast is a change (unbalance) in pH and so this kind’ve stabilizes it closer to your vaginal’s normal pH (which is slightly acidic and not neutral like blood). You can buy a non-disposable douche bottle for this. I suggested it to a girlfriend about a few years ago, she called me back by the next day or two and said it was working and the relief was much needed. Now, I don’t think this is a cure for it, I can’t really be sure, but it is a substantial relief until you can get medicated.

They sell medication for this over the counter these days. Gynalotrimine (sp) is one I believe. But doc will give you a shot I think.
