How To Cure Yeast Infection?

hi,im a 21 yr old female and i was diagnosed with a severe yeast infection 2 weeks ago after being on amoxicillin for 10 days,i was directed by my gyno to take 1 pill of diflucan every 3 days for a week,this only got rid of the infection for a while and then it came back after my period passed,then i decided to use an OTC treatment of Clotrimazole for 3 nights, After using clotrimazole for 3 nights,is it normal for it to ooze out gradually?i cant really tell if the infection is gone because most of the cream is coming out during the day,when will it be out of my system entirely and i can become sexually active again?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. You can get a swab test to find out whether you still have yeast infection. It will be gone with the therapy you had. But can recur if you have dysbacteriosis. In such case clindamycin or metronidazole combined with clotrimazole as vaginal suppositories will be helpful. You can also use intimate wash regularly to normalize vaginal bacterial flora and PH which will prevent you from getting such infections.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
