Went to Dr. because of itching and burning in the vigina area. She gave me the one dose of meds for possible yeast infection due to the fact that I had been taking amoxocillin. Figured that was why I had the yeast infection. The burning is till there when I urinate and feel as though there is a touch of dischage there and I just don't feel good. Any ideas. I hope it isn't what I think? I have had one of those and this will killme if it's another one..he has been the only one for me..I hope I have been for him. Could it be UTI?

It sounds like a UTI. Check back with your dr to get a prescription and rule out anything else.
Feel better soon.

How to Treat a Yeast Infection Naturally
Vaginal yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of Candida albicans, a fungus that normally lives in your body. Certain conditions can create an environment for the fungus to proliferate, and some of the common symptoms are a cheesy white discharge, irritation, intense burning and itching, and redness in the area.
Steps:
1. Eat yogurt. It contains helpful bacteria (live cultures, including acidophilus and bifidus) that destroy yeast. It also works when applied topically. Insert some into the vagina using a finger or plastic tampon applicator. Use only plain yogurt with active cultures.
2. Take lactobacillus/acidophilus supplements. Use according to the directions on the bottle.
3. Douche with a solution of 1 to 3 tbsp. vinegar in a quart of water. Repeat once a day while having symptoms, but no longer than a week.
4. Decrease or eliminate sugar and sugary foods. Sugar promotes yeast growth.
5. Use a garlic clove as a suppository. Garlic contains a natural anti-fungal agent. Peel a fresh clove, wrap it in gauze and insert it into the vagina.
6. Try gentian violet. It's a traditional remedy for yeast and other infections, and can be found in pharmacies. Swab the area with it once or twice a day. Make sure to use a thick pad - it stains everything.
7. Use an herbal douche. Combine equal amounts of sage, raspberry and comfrey with 1/4 part goldenseal. This can be combined with cider vinegar.
8. Use an over-the-counter yeast infection remedy. Apply as directed.
