A few possibilities: Presumably you're speaking of a vaginal yeast infection? Or maybe oral? 1) Confirm the diagnosis; many cases of apparent thrush are not, especially if oral. See doc if any doubt. 2) Make sure no underlying disease that predisposes to it, especially diabetes. 3) Assuming it's yeast, some are resistant to standard drugs. Speak with your doctor about boric acid, flucytosine, and diabetes check.
