I have a yeast infection, called the doctor and they gave me two pills to take and it seemed to temporarily rid it (for like 2 days), but it is back. I have read a lot about getting some kind of active yogurt with low fat. So I got Activia. Will it help? Do you have any other recommendations that helped your yeast infection?

Okay, so I was told earlier on here that you could use yogurt to cure a yeast infection. But im not sticking ANYTHING up there! Same reason I won’t use a tampon. Anyways, I was just wandering if there was some type of pill I could take to cure a yeast infection, or a cream for the outside area. Not inside!

Btw. this is my first one so I know nothing about how to cure them and stuff. Thanks!

My dog has a yeast infection. I had an old Golden Retriever a few years back who developed a yeast infection and the vet treated it with antibiotics plus flushing out the ears and then putting drops in them. It went away for only a short time. His health went down hill fast and he was in great pain from hip displacia. I have recently read up on a type of fungus/yeast infection called Candida Albicans. It has all the same symptoms. Part of the cure is to give an enzyme that is found in yogurt. It said to give the dog Acidophilus to build up the natural enzymes in the stomach where this infection starts. The smell from the dogs body and ears are horrible. He gnaws at his feet and skin all the time. I have read from some of you that the ear canal and the stomach are not connected but you still went on to say give the dog a non grain food. This fungus/yeast infection works its way from the stomach and makes its way to most parts of the body, especially the ears.

So am trying the ear rinse of one part white vinegar to four parts water. twice a day, one Acidophilus a day and maybe some yogurt once a week. It can’t hurt. I also give him a children s antihistamine once a day for the itching. We will see how much better (if any) this will be then what the Vet prescribed for my other dog.

I’ve been having problems down there lately, so I searched online and on a few chat sites, women said a tampon soaked in vinegar does the trick. My mom has heard of it but never tried it but women online said its worked for them. So, I put it in and it’s been in for about an hour. Hopefully this one will work. Has anyone else tried this?

Please don’t say go to a doctor, we don’t have any health insurance.
The yogurt defiantly did not work well. It just made the infection worst.
