I eat yogurt every day whether I'm taking antibiotics or not. I have never heard of yogurt tampon, and I'm not convinced.

I eat yogurt every day as it is, I just eat a little more if I have to take antibiotics.

^^^ This.

I've only had one yeast infection, and I was pregnant taking antibiotics for an ear infection, so it as a double whammy to end up with one...

It's been almost 5 years since and haven't had one since.. I've taken antibiotics for bronchitis and such since then and nada.

You can take fluconazole 150mg orally (you need a prescription) or you can use an antifunal product (yeast is a fungus) so something like miconazole ovules (you would insert them over night normally, then can make a tiny mess) and then you can get a cream to and use it for relief as needed. This is the first line treatment for a yeast infection (I am a pharmacy student). Eating probiotics may help as well as inserting a small amount of yogurt into the vagina.

I can't eat yogurt, so I'm considering taking the probiotic. I just haven't gotten around to getting some yet
