OTC yeast meds: are available in the form of creams or vaginal suppositories, ask the pharmacist about them, if no improvement, you may want to see your doctor for prescription strength medications after evaluation, best wishes

See your family doc: Your family doctor should be able to take care of this. If you have a gynecologist they would also be able to help you. This is a fairly common complaint.

OTC: There are over-the-counter yeast creams that are safe and mostlt effective - if you are 100% certain it's a yeast infection. If you've had them before and you're sure, you can try Monistat or an otc cream. If you've never had one and are 'guessing, ' got to the doctor anyway!
