A member asked:

Using boric acid vaginal suppositories does itching get worse before it gets better i'm only on day four and the itching is more bothersome now?

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Not typically: One does generally not expect itching to get worse once on treatment. You may need to see you Obgyn to confirm the yeast infection and provide alternative treatment
