I have a yeast infection. Should I finish my antibiotics before I take the yeast infection meds?
I am on a ten day antibiotics thing. Around the 2 day I started getting a horriable yeast infection. It hurts so bad I can barely walk. My question is, if I take the yeast infection meds now, will it just come back because I will still be taking the antibiotics? I wish I could stop taking the antibiotics, but if I do my throat infection would probably come back. What should I do? Should I suffer for the rest of these days (I have about 5 or 6 days left on the antibiotics) and wait to take the yeast infection meds when the antibiotics are done? Or should I take the yeast infection meds now and just pray that this horrible thing doesnt come back? Has anyone on here ever been in this situation? How did you go about it?

I had the same situation, got on antibiotics, the 3rd day out of 10 I got yeast infection symptoms. I called in a script of Diflucan, which is for yeast infections, and my gyno gives me two doses because it seems to clear up better that way even though it is supposed to be a one pill, one time dose. Usually I take the pills 72 hours apart as directed. But this time due to the antibiotics (your thinking was the same as mine), I took the first pill when I got it and the second the last day of antibiotics and it ended up working fine. I would also suggest getting some Monistat to combine with it, because two different anti fungals work better than one, and yes it is safe I asked my gyno.
