yeast infection!

I get Yeast infections a lot.. and usually I use Monistat 3-day.. but this time I got Monistat 1-day. I used it last night and the next day it didn't feel any better, it just felt 10 times worse! I plan on waiting for 3 days and seeing if it gets better.. but eveb when I used the Monistat 3-day it never got worse after taking it. Do 1-day Monistats not work?
And also I heard not to wash with Dial soap..true?

I've used the 1-day before and it did not work. I had to get the 7-day. The 3-day should work just as good.

As far as the dial soap, I don't think women are suppose to use anything anti-bacterial on their genitals, because it washes away the healthy bacteria we have down there causing BV.

**I get yeast infections a lot from antibiotics because I also get strep throat a bunch. So, I know it's not an STD.
