I have a yeast infection but i am unsure how to go about treating it. I was planning on buying some OTC medication such as Monistat but after reading some of the reviews of awful experiences people have i am skeptical. I have never had an infection before and am not sexually active. I have read that you can use garlic, eat yogurt, and take a bath with some apple cider vinegar. Are all these way just as effective as the OTC meds? And will they actually clear it up? I am currently living away from my home town so seeing a doctor right now is out of the question.
Also, will eating the garlic have the same effect as applying it to the area?
