A member asked:

Can a yeast infection harm baby and i'm only 8 weeks can i take diflican or other pills for it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yeast: Yeast infection has very low risk for your baby. Often babies are born with yeast in their mouth from exposure during delivery. This is called thrush and is easily treated by your pediatrician. Additionally, it would be safe to take a Diflucan (fluconazole) pill.
