Why doctors advice to take curd along with antibiotics?

Cultured yogurt is best while taking antibiotics because it balances the Ph levels of the body. Women generally can suffer cramps, yeast infections, infections or general nausea from taking antibiotics. CULTURED YOGURT will counter-balance this. Antibiotics can strip the good bacteria from the lining of the intestines so you want to protect this.

Could there be a connection to root canal and staph infection in spinal fluid?

No usually as these infections are usually picked up in hospitals unless you have a very sloppy and unclean dentist. Usually the dentist will wear a mask (sometimes goggles) and rubber gloves. You can get an infection, but it would be staph. If you think you have an infection phone your dentist's office and they can prescribe antibiotics. If you are a woman and hate the idea of taking antibiotics because of yeast infections here's a trick: Get cultured yogurt and get a either fresh fruit or tinned peaches or pears and put it on top if you really don't like plain yogurt. The yogurt will settle the tummy (antibiotics can cause nausea) and also balance your PH level so you won't feel so rotten.

Does yogurt weaken the effectiveness of antibiotics?

Some antibiotics should be taken on an empty stomach to be effective (a certain time before food) Others should be taken with or after food. Your doctor or chemist will advise you how to take your prescribed antibiotic or you can look at the instructions on the leaflet that comes in the box with the antibiotics and you should follow this advice. Treat yogurt as just another food when following these instructions, there is nothing special about yogurt in this regard. However, sometimes it helps to eat live yogurt as part of your food while taking antibiotics and afterwards because the antibiotics can kill off friendly bacteria that normally live in your intestines and some people believe that the bacteria that cause milk to turn into yogurt can help to repopulate your intestinal bacterial flora.

Will giving a pug yogurt help with a yeast ear infection?

If your pug has a yeast ear infection you need to take it to the vet for antibiotics and medicated ear drops. It is sometimes recommended as an additional home remedy for human babies with thrush in their mouths, but I would not suggest this at all for pugs. You need to take your pug to the doctor!-Yogurt will help a yeast infection. Antibiotics will only work and be needed if there is a bacterial infection. Chronic ear infections in pugs (I have 2) are usually actually an allergy to the grains in their food which is also something to explore with your vet. We do grain free food and yogurt everyday.-
