Can i put yeast infection cream up my nose?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Using medications in the non-intended way for which they were created can be ineffective and/or dangerous. You should always consult with a doctor when using medicines in a different way than they are instructed or prescribed.

I can't insert a vaginal suppository without experiencing pain & discomfort. I have never successfully put one in since it was recommended. Is there another way I can get rid of my yeast infection without using a cream or suppository inside my vagina?
