A member asked:
What do you think, could monistat 3 clear up a bacterial infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There are all sorts of " microorganisms" - ie "bugs" that live in, on or around us and that occasionally cause infections. One major type of microorganism is yeast, another is bacteria, a third is virus, a fourth is parasite and several others. T treatments for one type of microorganism generally wont be effective against another. An antiyeast or antifunagl medication wont help against bacteria.
