Wait a few days: Fluconazole works very well for yeast infections but, remember, the area is very irritated from the infection itself. Although the yeast may be dead, the vaginal area needs a few days to heal before everything is back to normal.
Created for people with ongoing healthcare needs but benefits everyone.
