You can find the candida fungus in everyone&#8217;s body. Generally in their mouth, skin, and digestive tract. Sometimes, a medication that you are using can cause the microorganisms in your body to go out of balance. In this case your asthma medicine likely caused the candida fungus to grow more quickly, leading to a yeast infection.<\/p>\n<p>It is simple to treat. Either your doctor or your dentist can prescribe and anti-fungal medication for you. What kind and how long you will need to take the medication will depen d on the severity of your case. Don&#8217;t leave this untreated, because it will not heal itself and can lead to other problems.<\/p>\n<p>You may also be interested in learning about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peckfamilydentistry.com\/mercury-free-dentist-phoenix.html\">mercury-free dentistry<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peckfamilydentistry.com\/\">Phoenix Dentist<\/a> Dr. Kevin Peck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently have been diagnosed with asthma and have to use an inhaler.
