A member asked:
Can i eat yogurt with a dose of my amoxicillin? it has given me a yeast infection
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotics & yeast: Antibiotics commonly used to treat urinary tract infections can upset vaginal balance leading to yeast infection. It's unlikely that eating yogurt will cure such an infection. Luckily there are many OTC options to treat such antibiotic-induced yeast infections. See your Family Doc if yeast infection symptoms persist.
