yeast infection

It never fails every time I get put on to antibiotics I get a yeast infection. So as I'm about to start a round of penicillin I was wondering if there are any home remedies I can try as I'd rather avoid medicating that part of my body at the moment. I will of course eat yogurt and drink cranberry juice while I take them. However, that never really helps me prevent a yeast infection. So any ideas for after the fact?

Im the exact same way. Wearing underwear that are made of a breathable material like cotton during the day and none at night helped me.

Stay as clean and dry as possible. I had a friend recommend using panty liners to prevent yeast infection just change them frequently like you would a pad or tampon.
