Can Monistat 1-Day Help To Treat Yeast Infection?
Yeast infection help?
I started having sypmtoms of a yeast infection 3 days ago. Very mild itching and burning. Now my symptoms are just slight irritation when I pee. So I bought 1-day from the makers of Monistat. Should I use this or should I let the symptoms clear up on its own?
Additional Details
I've read bad reviews for this product, that's the main concern I have. Also I consulted a nurse and she said definate yeast infection.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The symptoms are not likely to clear on their own.
Vaginal yeast infections can be treated using topical creams such as the monistat or oral medications such as diflucan. One dose of diflucan is used to treat vaginal yeast infections.
In terms of the effectiveness of monistat 1, it varies from one person to the next.
It will not cause any harm so you can try it to see if it relieves your symptoms. If it does not then you can visit your doctor to get a prescription for another medication.
I hope this helps
