I'm not a doctor, but a home remedy for yeast infections is yogurt. Eat
a lot of yogurt, it has some chemical balance abilities. I don't know
all of the technicals about it but in my experience it has worked. You
can also create your own tampons using the yogurt (using latex gloves or
tampon holders). It's pretty nasty, but once again, it works. Good
luck to you.
