Plain yogurt, the unsweetened kind, with live bacteria can add the good bacteria back to the intestinal track, and get the body back in balance, and an antifungal cream should be used as an external measure. By the way, some of the baby-wipe tissues might contain antibacterial properties, which may lead to a yeast infection.
