Not the right drug: You may not be taking the right drug. Please consult this site for information on this topic: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/yeast-infection/basics/treatment/con-20035129 It would be useful to talk to the pharmacist at the drug store to find out a good topical drug for vaginal yeast infection.
