Yes, : Monistat can be applied in vagina 3 to 7 days and if you still have the persistent infection as well as itching , get examined by your doctor to make correct diagnosis , if it is yeast infection ; can get oral medication also, if not and there is a bacterial infection; may need different antibiotic /treatment.
