Re: Penicilin Side-effects post-op

[Guest guest]

I heard of a folk remedy for yeast infections (which thrush is). I

don't have any personal experience to back this up, but I'll offer

it as a cheap and easy possibility.

Raw garlic supposedly kills the bacteria that feeds yeast. So if

you suck on a raw clove, it might help. I'm told that if you slit

or crush the clove first, more oil is released, which might sting or

burn.

(My eyes are watering as I type this. I've tasted raw garlic

before...)

Anyway, if you give it a try, let me know if it actually works.
