Because im woried because if it may produce more yeast because of its from milk. Thank you doctor and also i want to ask i develop oral yeast due to antibiotics from curing my pharingitis after the oral sex i had.. I kust want to ask if i took 6 fluconazole already once a week. And im planing to suggest to my doctor to take it daily for 14 days.. Will i treat my infection? Because its been a month and im desperate now to be back to normal ..

Brief Answer:
This regimen is supposed to treat it almost 100%

Detailed Answer:
There is no interaction with milk or other food. Don't worry about that. Besides that, washing your mouth after eating is good regardless of the yeast infection. The 14 day regimen is an effective treatment and you should be back to normal soon! There could be treatment failures and recurrences but this is the recommended treatment regimen.

Kind regards!

So doctor my condition is not going to candidiasis overgrowth? Im not an immuno compromise person..

Answered by Dr. Panagiotis Zografakis (2 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Antibiotic treatment is a common cause of yeast infection

Detailed Answer:
Antibiotics may result in yeast domination by killing other susceptible organisms and giving space to candida or other pathogens. Not being immunocompromised does not spare you from that! Treating your infection right, guaranties that you won't have problems with candida any more.

Kind Regards!
