Is It Safe To Take Miconazole For Yeast Infection?
I am currently taking antibiotics for a teeth extraction. I have 1500 mg left to take, but have developed a yeast infection in the process. I went to the pharmacy and purchased miconazole 1. I started reading a lot of reviews where other women had very bad experiences. I know it is a high dosage, but what should I expect from it? Should I still admisnister it?

Hello
Welcome to HCM
See for teeth extraction we usually provide 3 to 5 days safe antibiotic course which hardly leads to fungal infection but still if you are having then so start with anti fungal or fluconazole is more safe. Go to dentist get to know what kind of infection it is and the severity then according to that dosage will be decide, meanwhile keep that part clean.
Thank you
