I'm curious as to what has been the best over-the-counter yeast infection treatment for you?

Dr. Dennis Higginbotham answered

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Several: There are several over the counter medications specifically used to treat fungal vaginitis - most f them work about 2 out of 3 times. If you use an otc yeast medication and it doesn't work you should see your doctor to be sure it is in fact yeast - and to get a prescription for an effective treatment.
