Antifungals have so many side effects.. so why not any natural remedy?
Thanks for your advice

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
In fungal infection home remedies are useless. If some body advices, there is not much truth in it.
Any medicine taken under medical supervision does not give much side effects.
For your fungal infection on genital area requires anti-fungal cream and oral anti-fungal tablets.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
With his prescription go for treatment as per his advice.
You will be alright without any side effect.
Keep local part dry, airy and healthy.
Ok and bye.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
First you need to control the fungal infection by using antifungal medication or creams. If it is itching severely, please take antihistamine tablets.
Keep your genital area dry after bath and wear cotton inner clothes. Do not wear moist clothes.
Try not to itch your genital region as this may spread the infection further.
Sugarless yogurt will help treat yeast infections but it may become messy for you. The antifungal cream is best option.
Hope this helps
