HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are over the counter yeast infection treatments such as : (1) femstat 3 (used for 3 days, active ingredient is butoconazole)
(2)monistat (there are different types, monistat 1- taken for 1 day, monistat 3 and 7.Miconazole is the active ingredient)
(3)vagistat- (used for 1 to 3 days, contains tioconazole)
Any of the three of these would work for you. If you prefer a shorter course then you can use the one day or three day course.
You can choose whichever is available over the counter at your pharmacy.
