What do I do next??
This would be my first time ever having an yeast infection. I scared me so much I didnt know what to do. I went to a walk in center and I told them about my symptoms and the jus decleared it an yeat infection. (didnt run no test or anything) They gave me a perscription for Diflucan 150mg just 2 pills. They instructed me to take 1 pill and then if within 24 hrs if the symptoms havent cleared up to take the 2nd pill and from there if no progress to make an appointment with my primarly doc. I took the pill last night (5/20) around 5pm I could feel my sworeness and itchyness go away but when I woke up it was a little swore. I also feel very tender. Is this normal? what are my nexts steps?
Thank you for your advise Well once I took the Diflucan it cleared up alot no I guess my assumption was correct. It scared me so much it was def something new in my eyes. Im just happy its over. (Hopefully for now at least)
My experience with diflucan is that it can take a few days to work. I think it's odd though that they didn't test you for a yeast infection. If your symptoms don't clear up within a few days i'd go back to the doctor or go to a different one and tell them you want to be tested to make sure it is indeed a yeast infection. I made the mistake 2 weeks ago of thinking i had a yeast infection only to find out it was a bad UTI.
