Suggest Remedy To Treat Severe Yeast Infection

I was prescribed Doxycycline twice a day for 2 weeks for a Chlamydia infection and had yeast infection during as well. I felt an itch in my urethra and was given a single dose of Zithromax as well to treat the apparent Chlamydia. Tests came back negative for Chlamydia, meaning that it was probably a yeast infection. Now my yeast infection seems to be worse than before. I am experiencing symptoms such as increased BP, sweating, depression, anxiety, along with diarrhea and abdominal pain, and I feel as if my mental clarity is getting worse. I almost feel as if under the influence of a psychedelic.

Hello there,
I am dr.milan an infectious disease specialist answering your question.
Here you have not been given any antifungal treatment so you need to go now for antifungal treatment that is also after fungal culture & sensitivity report. You need to go with reliable microbiology lab by a qualified microbiologist. And once sensitivity is arrived it can be treated. But now i think you have to take medicine for somewhat longer period.
In your case you have been given antibiotic so when there is fungal infection and we take antibiotic it may get worsen is simultaneously fungal infection is not treated. So mostly this happens in your case.
Doxycyclin is the drug of choice for chlamydia infection. SO it is ok you have taken that. Now you need to first diagnose and than follow the sensitivity under the advise of your physician.
Hope i have given appropriate guidance to you.
if you have any query you can consult me anytime.
Give me star rating according to your satisfactory level.
Thanking you.
