Candidal infections or yeast infections are caused by a species named candida albicans. They are normally not very harmful but sometimes they can become life threatening. These life threatening infections are called candidemia and occur usually to the people whose immunity is very low. AIDS and Cancer patients are vulnerable to the attack of these yeasts.

Usually yeast infection treatment is quite easy and quick for a healthy person. But if you have some other disease at the same time which may weaken your immunity system then you must see a doctor.

For oral yeast infection treatment you can use antifungal like Daktarin Oral Gel which prevents the yeasts from producing ergosterol which is very important for the yeasts to survive.

There are some over the counter medications that can be used at home as yeast infection treatment. Tioconazole (vagistat vaginal), Miconazole (Monistat-Derm) and Butoconazole (Femstat) are the most common medications for candidiasis. There are a lot of lotions, pills and troches available for the treatment. There are also Polyene antifungals like Nystatin and Amphotericin B which are very effective as yeast infection treatment. There are also some natural products like yogart and tea tree oil that can be used as a treatment.
