can you take yeast infection medication even though you dont have it?

I don’t have medical insurance, so I can’t see a doctor. Lately, my vagina has been itchy, so I did some research online, and it may be a yeast infection, even though I have not had sex. Is it okay to take the medication even though I am not 100 % sure it is? Also, the itch comes and goes, and it’s been like this for years now. Thank you.

It’s not a good idea to take medication that you don’t need. So you need to be really sure you have it first.
You could have a yeast infection, a bacterial infection or an allergy – any of those you can get even if you don’t have sex.
Different types of infections:
Signs of yeast infections:
White, cottage cheese-like discharge
Swelling and pain around the vulva
Intense itching
Signs of bacterial vaginosis:
A white, gray or yellowish vaginal discharge
A fishy odor that is strongest after sex or after washing with soap
Itching or burning
Slight redness and swelling of the vagina or vulva
