How Can Yeast Infection Be Treated?

My friend is taking caprylic acid to clean out the obvious overload of yeast in his system. After 3 days he says he has no energy. I took his blood pressure and it was 124/80. We have tried every kind of athletes foot remedy, jock Itch spray, and he is also lactose in tolerant. So yogurt is not a solution. Probiotics did not help either.

Hello,

You are dealing with yeast infection as per mentioned history. For that Itraconazole like oral antifungal can be prescribed. If skin lesion present then Luliconazole (2%) like cream can be applied over that. I suggest you consult dermatologist for examination of lesion and get above prescription accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
