Relief from Yeast Infection

Talked to doctor and was prescribed diflucan (had 2 doses, 7 days apart) which didn't clear up infection. Now using otc monistat 7 for yeast infection, but itching is unbearable.

Diarrhea- Please Advice

My son is 19 month old and his been having diarrhea for a month now. I took him to the doctor. His stool samples came negative. He went from having 6 or more BM to 2 a day. This morning he had three liquidly BM. I don't know what to do anymore because it's been too long. I have giving him banana, rice, applesauce, bread, and pedilyte all this time. I also switch to soymilk. But the diarrhea continues. He is teething, but I was told that it has nothing to do with it. Please advice?
