A member asked:

My girlfriend took fluconazole for a diagnosed vaginal yeast infection. its been 5 days since she took the second pill, but the itching and discharge has came back. what should we do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Go back to the MD: She(you) needs to return to the MD who initially treated the yeast infection and communicate that her symptoms have not been resolved.
