Oof, those suck! I was just on Biaxin for bronchitis and got some nasty fungal infection under the ol' boobs. Antibiotics can knock out your normal bacterial flora that usually keep your normal fungus in check. When the bacteria is low, the fungus goes nutso and so do you. I hope that you aren't having trouble any more, but next time you are on an antibiotic, eat yogurt or take some bacteria pills. These can help repopulate your body. I wouldn't wash with a deodorant soap while having problems, either. Just plain stuff or something really gentle like baby shampoo. It really helps. I was on tetracycline for acne for a few years and I often got fungal infections. One thing that I like to take is in the dairy section of some Wal-Marts. They are called Bio-Salud and they are small strawberry shots. They are really tasty and cheap. Something like five for 88 cents. They are a good way to get the good bacteria you need.
