I am breast feeding a newborn and have a yeast infection. i used monistat 3. i fell asleep sitting up after feeding. will it still be affective?

Sounds ok: Sleeping position should not noticeably affect the effectiveness of medication for a vaginal yeast infection. Likewise, sitting position, standing position, and driving position should not affect the medication's effectiveness either.
