Yes, definitely finish the antibiotic but, eat yogurt and add yogurt, um, well, yeah, in that area. The good bacteria in the yogurt will clear up a yeast infection from antibiotics really fast w/o interferrin with the antibiotics!!

Yes, you can get a yeast infection from using antibiotics. You always have bacteria in the vagina considered normal flora to keep certain bacterias under control, when you take an antibiotic it kills all bacteria even the good kind, so now the one that was being kept under control becomes out of control and grows causing a secondary infection (yeast infection). Contact your doctor and see if he/she would want to change the prescription, if not you may be prescribed a treatment for the yeast. Good Luck

You should finish taking the antibiotics, but go ahead and call your doctor and tell him that you have developed a yeast infection. He or she will probably call you in some Diflucan or tell you to treat the yeast infection with an over the counter product after you have finished the antibiotic.

Usually the yeast infection doesn't start until after you stop the antibiotics.
You should take the full course of antibiotics and then get some Monistat to follow up after.
Never heard of anyone having a yeast infection from antibiotics BEFORE they finished taking them

I can count on getting a yeast infection every time I take antibiotics. The antibiotic is working so hard to kill the bacteria in your system that is making you sick...and it kills more than just what it is supposed to. I get Thrush - on the tongue - and the lovely vaginal type as well. It is important to take the antibiotics for whatever problem you are dealing with, but a pain to take OTC meds to deal with the yeast. You can try eating yogurt which has an ingredient that fights yeast as well as backing off sugar which may contribute to your issues as well. Good luck and, unfortunately, we have to learn how to deal with it. Talk to your doctor, especially if you think you have thrush. He/she can prescribe a tablet that disolves in your mouth dealing directly with the area, or there is a prescriptive med that is swallowed that deals with the your whole system. I can't remember the name at 2 in the morning.

Taking the Monistat now would leave you fairly vulnerable to another overgrowth. Antibiotics also kill the natural bacteria in your body that keep the yeasts under control. You body won't have any natural defenses against the yeast until your done with the antibiotics and your body has had a chance to replace those bacterias. You can speed up the process with pro-biotics which is a good idea to do anyways to protect against candida overgrowth.
