You may consider taking a probiotic. Here's some information from Mayo Clinic
"There is good evidence supporting the use of L. acidophilus [a probiotic] or yogurt enriched with L. acidophilus for the treatment of vaginal infections. More evidence is needed to support the use of L. acidophilus in treating vaginal yeast infections such as candidiasis, as well as restoring microorganisms in the vagina after treatment for infections. Several studies have used L. acidophilus in combination with other probiotics or supplements, such as vitamin B."

Thanks. I am taking probiotics and the yeast infection seems to have gone. I have been DX'd with acute cystitis and am now on the third antibiotic these past weeks; I had adverse reaction to Septra which I have taken before so now I'm on Keflex. Headaches and facial pain - maybe from the teeth.
I'm currently under the care of a dentist who prescribed clindamycin for a bad tooth; it was only about 5 days into that RX that I noticed the vaginal infection. Of course, a 4 day holiday weekend and the doctor covering for my internist wouldn't write an RX without seeing me even though I have a chronic UTI condition i.e. 3 xs a year. He's located in a prestigious hospital in NYC and I live in another borough. Tomorrow I'm off to the local clinic.
