Specializes in Infectious Disease

Yes, discuss w/ doc: There are prescription options for yeast. However, if OTC treatment hasn't worked, many of the prescription drugs also might be a problem. Yeast infection and thrush are the same thing. Has your yeast infection been professionally diagnosed? Discuss with your doctor. Probably this is unrelated to your treatment with Humira®), just a coincidence.
