If yeast: The discharge may be from another cause. Be examined and have cultures done to make sure you get the best treatment. You can get medication OTC for yeast infections. As long as you have no allergies Difucan 150mg every 7 days for 2 doses will treat it. But be sure to check out other causes. All the best.

Yes: Sure - give it a try. As long as you're not having other symptoms like fever, difficulty urinating, burning when urinating, and there is not concern for an alternative diagnosis (like a sexually transmitted illness). But most women know a yeast infection - so OTC is ok.
