Is it safe to use a second dose of the one day application for yeast infections within the same week if the 1st didn't work?

Yeast infection: Self diagnosing yeast infection because you have some discharge and itching may not be that accurate. That is probably why the one day did not work for you. Only 20% of the women that think that have yeast infection , have yeast infection. You should be evaluated and treated accordingly.
