If I recently cured a yeast infection but still have the same symptoms, is it okay to purchase more medicine?

I recently had cured a yeast infection with the seven day cream, but the symptoms still proceed. I am sure it's a yeast infection due to the fact that when I got my recent pap done, the doctor only reported yeast. Is it okay to purchase more medicine?

I would see your doc. It might be something else or may need a different treatment.
When you have a yest infection you need to avoid foods high in yeast like bread and vegemite. Eat lots of fresh fruit and veg to flush the yeast out of your system. You will need to treat your boyfriend too.
For a natural cure, swallow a clove of garlic at night (cut into small pieces but don't chew, you won't get garlic breath if you don't chew). Mix acidophilus powder into juice and drink. You often have yeast in your mouth and don't know it.
To avoid it happening again wear cotton nickers, use perfume free, soap free cleaner for down there.
To alleviate symptoms have a warm bath. If you have essential oils add chamomile and bergamot.
You can put aloe vera on your external areas affected, that really sooths.
For internally you can use natural yogurt with a drop of tea tree and bergamot essential oils. Roll a tampon in this an insert. Change it every hour.
If the medicine doesn't work again I'd go see your GP. It could be resistant to the medication or simply be something else.
I believe it says on the box that if the 7 day treatment doesn't work then you should see your doctor about it. You may need something stronger than the over the counter cures. Also, the doctor could give you a pill to take rather than having to deal with the messy creams.
If it is just the smell that is still there it is probably Bacterial Vaginosis or otherwise called BV. You'll need antibiotics after that. But if it is still a yeast infection see your gyn. He/She can give you a cream to help if the over the counter stuff isn't working
I am having the same exact problem. I took the 3 day monistat, but have still had slight symptoms. Just call your Doctor, let her know you've tried the cream and would like to try the pill (diflucan)
It's 1 pill, i just took mine yesterday and am feeling normal already.
Ur doc will probably call it into the pharmacy for you, so you won't ven have to worry about making another appointment.
