Can I use shredded garlic instead of a clove for a yeast infection?
Don’t used shredded garlic. Garlic juice burns. Most home remedies don’t work, or at least they haven’t for me – these: eat a lot of plain yogurt, take probiotics, insert a garlic clove tied with a string, tea tree oil. The first two are something to help prevent them, but doesn’t usually work after you have an infection. I know what works for me if I have a topical yeast infection (no discharge) but it doesn’t work a full blown yeast infection. While you may be embarrassed to talk to your dad, it’s better than itching like crazy with a yeast infection. Send him a text if you have to. Call an aunt. As one of your friend’s mother’s to take you to the store. Different types of infections: Signs of yeast infections: White, cottage cheese-like discharge Swelling and pain around the vulva Intense itching Signs of bacterial vaginosis: A white, gray or yellowish vaginal discharge A fishy odor that is strongest after sex or after washing with soap Itching or burning Slight redness and swelling
