I am currently on amoxicillin for a tooth infection, but the medicine gave me a yeast infection! I told my mom about it but she wont take me to the doctor because she thinks it will hal on its own and all she bought me was itching cream because monistat is too expensive. This is my first yeast infection and I dont know what to do! Will my yeast infection go away naturally after I finish the amoxicillin, how long will it take to heal on its own, and what do I do in the meantime!?
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor The yeast infections normally require treatment with antifungal creams or with an oral antifungal such as fluconazole. It is not likely to heal on its own with no treatment at all. Some persons whose at home methods to try to treat these infections including yogurt, boric acid, tea tree oil. The exact effectiveness and safety is not known. I hope this helps
