I have a yeast infection, which I bought clotrimazole 3 day treatment for. I finished the treatment, but still have some itching and burning in my vaginal area. I have tried the vinegar treatment, but it doesnt seem to work. I have been taking acidophilus supplements to help combat the problem, and it seems I read somewhere that these geltabs can be placed in the vagina. Is this possible?

I had a cold and had to take antibiotics. As soon as I was done with the treatment I got a nasty vaginal yeast infection.
I was sick of taking the costly over the counter vaginal suppositories and read somewhere online that douching with vinegar would have the same effect, that is to balance the vaginal PH.
I have used it for 5 days now, diluting one table spoon of vinegar in a cup of luke warm water.
It has helped a great deal and I have been feeling so much better…no more itching and no discharge.
My question: For how long should I continue the vinegar treatment? How and when do I know when the yeast infection is gone for good?

Thanks in advance for your advice.
