Taking antibiotics? Get probiotics!: A yeast infection nightmare

Question

I was just given a course of harsh antibiotics which resulted in an absolutely RAGING yeast infection. My vagina has never been so sore and itchy. Thankfully some canesten, a 1L of kefer yogurt and some tea tree oil has it almost beat but damn, it was rough there for a couple days. I couldn't sleep, I was losing my mind from the itching. 
Here's some yeast infection tips that helped me

- take a tampon and cover it with lube. The more jelly stuff works best (like KY). Then put 4-5 drops of tea tree oil on the tip and insert. 
-I found that the tampon helped keep the yeast from leaking out and irritating the outside of my labia
-many women react to the monostat, vaginal medication. Don't risk it and go for the oral pill 
-kefer yogurt has 10 active cultures. Drink 1/2-1 cup a few times a day
-When I absolutely had to scratch, I used my vibrator on low. It did the trick and was far more gental on my delicate skin

TL:DR Get some probiotics in you anytime you have to take antibiotics. Your vagina will thank you.

What other ways have you delt with yeast infections?
