Guest guest Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 For immediate relief, buy boric acid from the drug store and some gel caps. fill gel caps with acid and insert 2x per day. This will not keep you from getting them again. But it will help you when you have one.

Hello, In preperation for a trip to South Africa earlier this spring, I had to take exttended antibioitcs to prevent malaria. I have been plagued with a vaginal yeast infection since, at least thats what the doc says it is. No discharge, just itching and burning. It just won't go away. Tried Monostat, Diflucan. I don't eat sugar, bake my own bread, won't eat fast or processed foods, exercise 30-60 minutes per day and eat a balanced diet. Now I am taking Centrum multi vit, vit c, b complex at dr's suggestion. I take two acodophilis (spelling!) pills per day. Am rinsing internally with a yougurt wash 2x per day, because it is soothing. No help. Even tried inserting garlic, and although that eased itching, it didn'y help long term. Doc says be patient. But can anyone give me any suggestions, please? Thank you!

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 Hi, first of all, I don't know WHO told you that you had to take antibiotics to prevent malaria. That is absolutely ridiculous. I've been to Africa many times and believe me that is not the way to do it. Having said that, S/L you're doing things right in terms of the infection. This sounds obvious but make sure you only use white toilet paper and wear only white cotton underwear that you wash in hot water with bleach. Also, no scented soaps in the shower and 's Baby shampoo is good too. Hang in there.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 Holy Sh*t!! I feel like I've been hit over the head with a sledge hammer! I never made the connection before, but my problems started in June after a trip to S.Africa/Botswana. I thought about everything else it could possibly be EXCEPT I took a new antimalarial called Mallarone. It's not an antibiotic but maybe it has antibiotic properties to prevent malaria. I have similar symptoms to yours: vaginal burning and irritation that does not respond to anything. Did you take Mallarone too? Maybe this is a common side-effect. PLEASE respond and tell me more info. I don't know about you but this kind of freaks me out.
