Quick question...
...I've been taking anti-biotics for a water infection and i feel so much better and i'm due to finish the course of anti-biotics, and i was just told 'just wait till the thrush kicks in!' i've heard of women getting thrush after using anti-biotics, but surely after all the pain i've went thru for a water infection, i couldn't possibly ended up with thrush... cud i? :banghead:

It's a huge pain, but a lot better than not treating the infection caused by cystitis - then spreading to the kidneys. Not nice.
yup :yes: , the naturally resident bacteria out-compete the yeasts but the antibiotics kill your natural flora... Not really the "dangers of antibiotics" though just side effects
