Yeast Infection/ Bad Breath..

Hi, I am a 17 year old girl. I am pretty sure I have a yeast infection. I don't know how I contracted it (sex possibly). What I would like to know is, are there any home remedies I could try before I get the time to see a doctor? Also, my boyfriend who has been having oral sex with me has had "mothball" breath recently. Is this relevant? If not, is it possible that he may need any type of treatment as well or look for certain signs. We have both been tested and have both been monogamous.

Thanks for the query

Since both of u r monogamous and still very young with no co morbidities like diabetes, not on steroids. It is least likely that u will have an infection of fungal origin.U could get fungal origin infection in moist climate
Please get yourself examined
Your boyfriend should gargle his mouth with betadine twice daily to take care of his foul breath

Have a healthy life
