Some over the counter yeast treatments contain both an anti itch cream and vaginal suppositories. Apply the cream on the outside, and the suppository inside.

I tend to get the 3 or 7 day kits, as opposed to the one day kits, so that I will have a longer treatment.

You can shower now, and keep using the pad, which will absorb discharge and the excess medication.

If you are still having a lot of itching and discomfort in a couple of days, either repeat the treatment with OTC medicine, or make an appointment with your doctor. He can make sure that it is actually a yeast infection, rather than some other infection. Monistat and similar treatments won’t do anything for a bacterial infection, for instance, and the doctor can prescribe something that will work. Also, there’s an oral medication called Diflucan for yeast infections. You swallow one pill, or maybe two (depending on how bad your yeast is), and it clears up.

This website on Yeast Infection will help you. I had a Yeast Infection a few weeks back and that website gave many good details. I got the book and it helped me cure my Yeast Infection within 10 hours without the use of drugs!
