yeast infection.

I didn't see a tag for yeast infections, so if there's tons and tons of info on this that I missed, I apologize and please guide me in the right direction.

I've been on strong antibiotics for about a week now. Unfortunately, they gave me the WORST yeast infection I've ever had. Horrible. And to make matters worse... I just got my first period since quitting hormonal birth control. It's VERY heavy.

My question... if I use my Diva Cup while I have this yeast infection, will boiling it be enough to completely clean it of the yeast? Or should I just stick to tampons (pads are absolutely not an option).
