Re: allergy to medications for yeast and bacteria infections

Hi Ruby,

Before I got to the part where you Dr. wants to send you to an ID Specialist, I was thinking the same thing. They have training in infectious processes, so they are the ones to see, especially when someone has frequent infections.

Levaquin is not a benign drug either. Take it from someone that developed C. Difficile from it....that is not an infection you want to have either! All antibiotics carry a risk, and it is best if you have someone Rx'ing them that really knows the ins and outs of the drugs.

Hope you find relief soon!
