Avatar n tn First, you really should have told the doctor about the oral sex but I understand. It is embarrassing :) Are the glands under your jaw swollen? Because your symptoms sounds like a bacterial throat infection. I had one recently and it started with a crazy fever and it hurt so much to swallow. My guess is that your doc is assuming you have Group A Strep which the penicillin should fix no problem. Just please please please please take it properly and take ALL of it.

Avatar f tn Fluconazole does work on yeast infections as it is an antifungal. Clindamycin is different and is an antibiotic. It fights bacteria, not yeast or fungus. Clindamycin can create a situation in which you get a yeast infection. It's not used to treat a yeast infection but fluconazole is.
Avatar f tn I don't think so. I had a yeast infection and uti and the doctor never mention that it could hurt the baby.
Avatar f tn It never fails every time I get put on to antibiotics I get a yeast infection. So as I'm about to start a round of penicillin I was wondering if there are any home remedies I can try as I'd rather avoid medicating that part of my body at the moment. I will of course eat yogurt and drink cranberry juice while I take them. However, that never really helps me prevent a yeast infection. So any ideas for after the fact?
Avatar f tn Yes, you can get a yeast infection as a virgin. Women often get a yeast infection, for example. after taking certain antibiotics, which can disturb the normal healthy balance of the vagina. However, it is also possible to get bacterial infections (again while still being a virgin), not just yeast infections, so it is important to get it checked out to see what organism might be causing the problem and whether a medication might be needed to clear it up.
Avatar f tn chances are the infection never really went away, if it was gonorreah or syphilis it probably relapsed...
Avatar m tn Is her tongue white? Thrush doesn't usually manifest as a sore on the outside of the lips, as candida requires a moist environment to survive. Just wondering if this has been diagnosed and if the other symptoms of thrush are there because if it's just this sore again are you sure it's yeast?
Avatar f tn Thank you for the advice..But I'm a lil confused can yeast infections cause skin tearing if you rub or scratch during the infection ? Also when I first noticed the irritation I went to planned parenthood for an exam would the doctor have noticed if it was herpes at that time ? Also would yeast infection cream heal herpes sore during an outbreak ?..
242516 tn?1368223905 The flu has passed epidemic rates in much of the country, and if you don't have a cold, I'm sure you have a friend who has the sniffles, fever, chills, aches and pains of a viral upper respiratory infection. This is different from a bacterial infection such as sinusitis, bronchitis, or pneumonia. A viral infection doesn't improve with antibiotics as these infections do. A virus hijacks your own body's healthy cells and uses it to reproduce and spread.
Avatar f tn Recently I came down with an upper respiratory infection and the doctor prescribed me a penicillin to clear it up. I told the doctor that I had a yeast infection the last time I took an antibiotic. I purchased a probiotic but didnt take it till after the 3rd day of medication and the damage was done already. I got a yeast infection and I have had one before due to antibiotics so I knew what it was.
Avatar f tn A few weeks ago I had a bladder infection (discomfort, trouble urinating) so I went antibiotics for a week. A couple weeks later my symptoms came back but more like a yeast infection (creamy white excessive discharge, itchiness, burning while peeing). I developed some pimples (normal for me) which eventually turned to mini ulcers because I scratched so much. So I went to the doctors and he did a std utile test (syph. & gonnor.
Avatar m tn Can someone help me connect the dots? Do I have an std or a simple yeast infection? How do I get tested for a yeast infection? It seems that treatment for yeast is a long,impossible, diet of zero sugar. Is there an easier way? Please help.
Avatar f tn But it is unlikely to have come from a toilet seat. It could even have come from measures you have been taking to try to cleanse yourself due to worry about the incident on the trip.
Avatar n tn if you had a boyfriend and he gave you a yeast infection and you go get treated for yours but you still mess with the boy and use a condom can you get it again
655058 tn?1224429152 two months ago i had a yeast infection in mouth, extending from penicillin i taken for a sinus infection. yeast is gone after three bottles of medication. now iam experiencing some weird things for about 3 weeks now. my mouth and throat is excessively dry night and day. i have prickley pin bumps on the roof of mouth and throat . my upper roof of mouth is pale white. iam having difficult in eating now. when i drink water my whole mouth feels prickley.
Avatar m tn Is it possible a man doing giving oral sex to a women who has yeast infection on her vagina will get Candida in the mouth which will then go down the stomach? The reason why i am asking is because many of symptoms of Candida are what I am experience but the HIV tests are negative and as you have said you can't get HIV from Oral sex. There are others who are going through this as well and their tests for HIV have all come back negative.
