know that for sure so you need to see your
doctor. You will need medicine before it
gets worse, so see a doctor as soon as
possible.
There are many causes for a yeast infection.
Just taking antibiotics can cause them. You
don't have to be sexually active to get a
yeast infection. Don't put off telling your
mom thinking her or a doctor will think that.
(You may not but some teens think this) Here
is a list of some things that may cause one. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
You could try an over the counter medication
like Monostat. But, if yeast isn't the cause
of the infection you have wasted some time
in getting treated. They are also pretty expensive. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
