Developing yeast infection from antibiotic. just took a diflucan (fluconazole). anything natural i can use to aid the process? i've read about inserting garlic?

No: Diflucan (fluconazole) - one or 2 doses should do the trick. Inserting douches, or anything else can irritate the mucosa and i don't advise garlic should be used.
