Eat plain yogurt, take garlic & acidopholus pills, avoid sweets & fermented foods, and don't wash with any soaps.

the over the counter yeast infection medications only treat one kind of yeast infection,  however, if you go to your dr. they can do a pap smear and if it is a yeast infection they can prescribe a similar medication that treats for 3 different strands of yeast infections.  good luck!

You probably don't have a yeast infection; you need to see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
