Yeast infection home remedies It is not uncommon for people to develop yeast infections after or even during a course of antibiotics. The problem is that antibiotics often kill off even healthy bacteria in the human body, allowing harmful bacteria and fungi to grow instead. Since antibiotics do not harm fungi, yeast infections are most likely.
Women often experience this when they develop candidiasis (probably the most common yeast infection) after taking antibiotics to treat another condition. However, yeast infections do not affect only the vagina and are not restricted to women — they can also grow in the mouth, the pharynx, the esophagus, the intestines, the urinary bladder, and the penis. You have not mentioned where the infection has set in and which particular yeast infection it is.
It is advisable that you seek a doctor's diagnosis and advice. Yeast infections are usually not serious, but can occasionally require hospitalization, for example, if the infection affects the digestive system, particularly the lower digestive tract. Even with infection of the oral cavity, if the infection is particularly strong there is no option but medical treatment. Home remedies for yeast have only limited efficacy, and since you have recently undergone surgery, it is best to visit your doctor.
