No: This sounds as if you may be having an allergic reaction and should not take any more medication until you go back and see the doctor.

I got treated for a yeast infection with a single dose of diflucan 150mg and I am currently on day 5 and my symptoms decreased by about 80%. The itchiness is less frequent but still there. Is it safe to take another dose to completely heal me up?

Had UTI, took Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) and 1 diflucan pill to take after. 2 weeks later have a lot of burning in vulva and itchiness. Is this a yeast infection?
