 Some patients are very sensitive to use of antibiotics in that there is fungal overgrowth in various places (mouth, skin, vagina, foreskin areas). Use of topical antifungals or including active culture yogurt in your diet (to try to replenish more normal bacteria throughout your body) help some patients handle recurrent problems with fungal infection flare-ups.
