A member asked:

My dr gave me fluconazole for a yeast infection. is there anything i can apply topically to ease the burning irritation before the meds kick in?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Over the counter Gynazole or Monistat can be applied both to the vagina and a small amount on the vulva which should stop the immediate "burning". If that fails, ask your MD who provided the Fluconazole Rx for Terazole Rx or another vulvar cream.
