Question

Diagnosed w/ candida parapsilosis but had alergic reaction to med. Can i treat it with yeast & sugar free diet same as c.Albicans?

Answer 1

Allergic reaction : If you have asthma symptoms, consider a virtual consult with Healthtap. The spurs may be sent for analysis including eosinophils. A blood eosinophil count and IGE level. Take an antihistamine and please have an allergy panel blood test. An infection can trigger an allergic reaction but most likely you have exposure without infection.

Answer 2

Irritation: Vaginal irritation, tenderness, and external vaginal burning when urinating are the most common symptoms of vaginal yeast infection.

Answer 3

Lots: Itching burning stinging cheesy white discharge.

Answer 4

Discharge/itching: Most vaginal yeast (candida) infections are associated with a discharge, and or itching and sometimes frequent and/or uncomfortable urination. Some have a whitish, "cottage cheese-like" discharge. Hyphae (branhing from the yeast can sometimes been seen on a smear from a vaginal swab.

Answer 5

Difficulty breathing: If a baby is breathing rapidly, appears to be using a lot of effort to breathe and is feeding poorly, it may be time to have the baby seen again.

Answer 6

Asthma should not...: Be treated in an emergency room unless absolutely necessary. A good rule of thumb is always to see your own doctor the day after an emergency room visit; the important treatment is what you do to keep attacks from coming back. Trouble breathing is a sign of out-of-control asthma (or something that looks like asthma but isn't), and may need an ED visit now, but an ED visit does not cure asthma.

Answer 7

If you are nervous..: You should have been given rescue medications from the er. Probably albuterol. Use it as they directed - but if you do not think it is working well, or does not last more than a couple hours, then it is time to head back or see your doctor asap.

Answer 8

Now: If there is any difficulty breathing. If you feel your baby is in distress call 911.

Answer 9

No: My question would be how you have that diagnosis in the absence of symptoms. Sometimes a pap result will report the presence of yeast and some will treat based on this finding. Yeast is not an abnormal finding in and of itself. The overgrowth of yeast is abnormal and leads to the characteristic discharge and symptoms. The mere presence of yeast does not necessarily warrant treatment.

Answer 10

No: Vaginal yeast infections do not need to be treated if they are not causing symptoms. Typical symptoms would be vaginal or vulvar itching, thick white discharge and general discomfort. If it is not bothering you it does not need to be treated.

Answer 11

34 weeks or less: Betamethasone shots only work if you are 34 weeks or less.

Answer 12

Talk to your MD: If you are close to delivery or a c-section your OB may recommend this treatment to help your child. If you still have time to wait the baby may mature on his/her own. Talk to your OB about your case.

Answer 13

Nose: The cilia in the nasal passages are the first line of defense. The lung itself has macrophages that also destroy invasive bacteria.

Answer 14

Various: You are protected from pulmonary infection by your cough reflex, the mucociliary function of your airways that help clear your lungs, your immune system with function of immune cells in your lungs and your antibody producing cells.
