I always get them when I take Keflex. I just want to make sure it's okay/expected while on 500-mg of ammox. for strep throat as well.

Yes absolutely! you can ask for them to give you oral nystatin to take while on antibiotics. Eat lots of yougurt and if you think you have a yeast infection call the doc they will prescribe Diflucan (Fluconazole) for the infection.

Good freaking lord, YES! Most pharmacists will warn you about it. In fact, whenever I have to take antibiotics of any kind, my doctor also gives me some yeast infection pills for right after my antibiotic round is done. It will go away when you are finished taking them.
Sucks to be a girl, huh?

Whenever I am prescribed antibiotics I always ask for a diflucan Rx too, because for me a yeast infection is inevitable. I usually take the diflucan when I finish all the antibiotics. There are some herbal remedies you can try, but they don't work for me.

Yep, yeast infections are common with Amoxicillin and other antibiotics. One way to help keep that from being a problem is by taking acidophillous. You can buy it in either capsules of their own or by eating plain yogurt.

Yep. It helps to take a probiotic (acidopholus and other cultures) while you are taking an antibiotic to put back the normal bacteria that its killing.
