Suggest Remedies For Vaginal Infection
Question: I developed a vaginal yeast infection as a result of using Metronidazole for a Diverticulitis siege. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it? Just FYI it has abated mostly since I finished the drug.
I also developed a terrible taste in my mouth from the same drug. I finished the protocol Sunday, but my mouth still has a terrible taste.
Will these issues go away over time?
